Many websites have special section for displaying Testimonials and other greetings from visitors, users, clients, partners, etc . This will show on new visitors how useful an service or product and what benefit visitors can get when using it.
With this tutorial I will show you how to create simple PHP Testimonials for your website.
Create PHP Testimonials
|
Main concept for displaying testimonials is to place all testimonial items in some database, array or file. Next with some random function to get one item and to show it in website.
First we have to prepare all testimonials to be well organized for fast and easy extraction. For this case we will use simple PHP Array
First we have to prepare all testimonials to be well organized for fast and easy extraction. For this case we will use simple PHP Array
$testimonials=array('Thanks. Have a Nice Day!', 'Very useful Website', 'Greetings from NY', 'Go Yonkees! Go');
Now we have to prepare function for getting random testimonial from the array. This function will use our already prepared array with some testimonials and using rand() function will select one testimonial and return it for later displaying. This function have to be positioned between <?php and ?> tags.
function GetRandomTestimonials() {
global $testimonials;
$TestimonialsQty = count($testimonials);
$randomPos = rand(0,($TestimonialsQty-1));
return $testimonials[$randomPos];
}
Displaying the result is quite easy with echo function. This have to be positioned between <?php and ?> tags and on suitable place on the website.
echo GetRandomTestimonials();
Now we will place array with testimonials, function for getting random testimonial and exact displaying of testimonials in separate <?php ... ?> section and all of this in one simple html file to test the entire functionality. Copy all code showed below to an php file. When you ready your php file have to look like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Displaying PHP Testimonials</title>
<?php
$testimonials=array('Thanks. Have a Nice Day!', 'Very useful Website', 'Greetings from NY', 'Go Yonkees! Go');
function GetRandomTestimonials() {
global $testimonials;
$TestimonialsQty = count($testimonials);
$randomPos = rand(0,($TestimonialsQty-1));
return $testimonials[$randomPos];
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo GetRandomTestimonials();
?>
</script>
</body>
</html>
Now lets check how all of this will work. Press F5 (Refresh) several times to get random testimonials each time when this page is load.

If I set it up and I try to refresh the page, at some point one of the testimonials appears blank.
Please help me to solve this.
