Hi,
I am trying to insert a random entry from an xml file with following snippet.
It works fine as a standalone php file.
But as a snippet it only echoes the html but there seems to be no output from the (randomized) array.
Is MODx something which gets in conflict with the script below?
Has anyone a hint for me what to change?
The mentioned xml file is a static file which i have put on the server.
It’s not set up as a ressource within MODx. (Would be even better, but the script tells me that it couldn’t open the file if i do so.)
Thanx a lot in advance (I am a little desperate right now)!

//Add each of your variables here, as well as a new case for each block from the XML file
