fortune_php:
PHP version of the famous Unix tool "fortune" which generates random
"fortune cookies". This is famous in US but other countries may not be
familiar with it: it is a paper with a proverb or quote hidden inside
a cookie served at the end of a meal in chinese restaurants (in France
we had something similar with wafers and also in chocolate sweets
called "papillotes").
Extensively refactored (along with bug fixes) by Thomas Leavitt in 2016.

Quick start guide:
1. Upload fortune_php in the chosen directory (let's call it FORTUNE_HOME)
2. Use the following snippet:
require_once "FORTUNE_HOME/fortune.php";
$cookie = get_cookie("FORTUNE_HOME");
To add your own quote files (or remove/edit those provided):
1. add/remove quote files in "FORTUNE_HOME/dat" subdirectory:
each quote file is a text file without extension, in its content
each quote must end with a "%", eg:
my first quote
....
%
my second quote
....
2. run "FORTUNE_HOME/create_fortunes_index.php":
This tool creates ".idx" files for each quote file and finally
"fortune.cat" (all these files are create in "FORTUNE_HOME/dat"),
theses files are required by "fortune.php"
