What is this? In order to have a “photo of the day” I wanted to learn how to have PHP return a different random number between a given minimum and maximum every day – the same number all day long, but a different number from one day to the next. (Click Reload on this page, and you will see the same section, but if you come back tomorrow, it will be different). I had to test it on something, and so this project just sort of happened out of the blue. It didn't have to be the Tao Te Ching, it could have been anything. This is different, and interesting to read. So there you have the story of where this page came from.

From great antiquity forth they have known and possessed it.
Those of the next level loved and praised it.
The next were in awe of it.
And the next despised it.
If you lack sincerity no one will believe you.
How careful she is with her precious words!
When her work is complete and her job is finished,
Everybody says: “We did it!”Translation by Charles Muller.
