Help with a php script

I've got a cgi script that allows me to add the output of a php script to an
html page using the following line of code.

#insert : http://www.url.com/sript.php#

What I'm wondering is if someone could write me a couple of lines of code
for script.php that would randomly select one line of information from a
text file called text.txt.

This way, if I had the following line in my html file, the place where
#insert : http://www.url.com/sript.php# is located, would be replaced by a
random line of text from text.txt.

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">#insert : http://www.url.com/sript.php#</a>

The contents of text.txt would be something like this:

This is yahoo
yahoo is a search engine
search using yahoo

Thanks for the help.

I usually take £40 per hour.

How about doing it yourself? Look up these functions in the manual:

file()
count()
mt_rand()

Thanks for your help. Why waste your time writing a response. That just
took away time you could have been earning money.

Anyways, someone was kind enough to help...and get this FOR FREE.

The only thing wasted here was my sarcasm.
