Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums and I had a question I wanted to ask about creating a random generator.

Basically, I've been wanting to try experimenting a bit with the idea of a random song generator. (so it would have a series of variable banks consisting of possible verse chord progressions, verse lyrics, chorus chord progressions, chorus lyrics, etc, and would randomly choose one from each), and I'd like it to be web-based. How difficult would this be to program? I have very little programming experience but I used to do it a little when I was younger and I think I can pick up pretty fast (the basic stuff usually seems intuitive enough).

As I said, I'm not looking for it to create songs, I'm looking for it to randomly access bits of songs that I've written and piece all the bits together. That seems to me as though it should be pretty simple but I'm not sure.

Finally, is PHP the way to go for this? Or would I be better off doing a different web language?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Seems like a trivial problem to me. I don't know PHP, but from what I have picked up, it seems like a good choice ;) I'll leave it to the PHP guys to give you more detailed feedback..

PHP, ASP or any other language should do it.

Hey, thanks for the help. PHP is the one web language that I don't really know anything about. Anyone have any good web tutorials they could link me to?

I can't recommend anything since I don't know PHP, but this usually gets you going :D
