Ok, so you want to have a different layout and you only want to show 1 book and when they refresh the page you show another book, randomly. I don't think refreshing is a good way to navigate through the books if anything I would say instead of displaying 1, display them all downwards and just select randomly which is going to be at the top. Or am I understanding it badly?

About the switch code you posted, I tried it out and it work for me:

php Code:

<?php
$x = 5;
switch ($x) {
case 0:
echo "x equals 0";
break;
case 1:
echo "x equals 1";
break;
case 2:
echo "x equals 2";
break;
default:
echo "x is not equal to 0, 1 or 2";
}
?>

I am wondering if the way you get the value of $x returns you a string because a string in a loose comparison (which is what the switch statement does) would be equal to 0.

P.S. It would be better if you are sharing code to wrap it in highlight tags.
