Implementation of a reader for fortune files in PHP.
use vitoni\Fortunes;
$fortunes = Fortunes::from($path);
echo $fortunes->getRandom();use vitoni\Fortunes;
$fortunes = Fortunes::from($path);
$randOffset = $fortunes->getRandomOffset();
echo $fortunes[$randOffset];use vitoni\Fortunes;
$fortunes = Fortunes::read($path);
foreach ($fortunes as $fortune) {
...
}Re-reading the fortune file / directory to find all fortunes on each call might be not the best idea. In case of a MOTD this might work but for a web page this approach might not fit.
One can use the indexer example to create a static index of all fortunes.
This index can be used as long as the files don’t change (it could be used even then when one only appends to existing files with the downside of missing out on new fortunes).

-
Creates a static index and prepares a Fortunes instance
-
Uses output from
indexerand appendsecho $fortunes→getRandom() . "\n"; -
Pipes everything to
phpto execute the created script to retrieve a random fortune
This is fortune 4One could created a static PHP readable version with the fortunes included, or something totally different.
But where would the fun be?
The original fortunes uses .dat files which do basically the same but have a per file index.
