When you are just figuring out something new, you often find yourself working on a part of the whole that is just not that important, but anyway, there you are.
That has happened to me in my learning curve phase of using EE.
I tried to edit the pi.randomizer.php file, adding a second set of quotations.
Here’s what I added:

function set_two()
{
$quotes = array(
Aude sapere - "Dare to know"
Caveat emptor - "Let the buyer beware" 
Cogita ante salis - "Think before you leap"
Facta, non verba - "Deeds, not words."
);

return $quotes[array_rand($quotes)];    
} 

But when I changed


<title>{exp:randomizer:set_two}</title>

in my index page, I got an error msg which I’ve duly forgot and didn’t note, but it was along the lines of “T_string error in pi.randomizer.php”.
Is there something obvious I’ve screwed up?
Thanks for the help, amigos.

Did you take a look at set_one? You are filling an array here, which means each element needs to be separated with a comma, and probably needs to be quoted also:

function set_two()
{
$quotes = array(
"Aude sapere - Dare to know",
"Caveat emptor - Let the buyer beware",
"Cogita ante salis - Think before you leap",
"Facta, non verba - Deeds, not words." // no comma here
);

return $quotes[array_rand($quotes)];    
} 

If you still want quotes, try using HTML entities, "

Signature

Everything will be good in the end. If it’s not good, it’s not the end.

You should also be able to enclose double quotes in single quotes, as in:

function set_two()
{
$quotes = array(
'Aude sapere - "Dare to know"',
'Caveat emptor - "Let the buyer beware"',
'Cogita ante salis - "Think before you leap"',
'Facta, non verba - "Deeds, not words."' // no comma here
);

return $quotes[array_rand($quotes)];    
}
