Php – Change URL every 10min based on redirect

I got 10 urls in a file.

I want to show each url for 10 minutes and when done start over again.

<?php

$version = "v1.01";

$linksfile = "urlrotator.txt";

$urls = file("$linksfile");
$url = rand(0, sizeof($urls) - 1);

$goto = "$urls[$url]";

header("Location: $goto");

This just rotate random.

Need to be based on time

The urlrotator.txt content look like following

nr1.html
nr2.html
nr3.html
nr4.html
nr5.html
nr6.html
nr7.html
nr8.html
nr9.html
nr10.html

    You can use the time function to find the current second, and from that the current 10-minute chunk. Then use a modulo to find the remainder according to the number of URLs you have.

    $minutesBetweenChanges = 10;

$urls = file('urlrotator.txt');
$numberOfURLs = count($urls);

$selection = (int) ((time() / 60) / $minutesBetweenChanges) % $numberOfURLs;

header('Location: ' . $urls[$selection]);
