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")

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"
