how would you go about doing one? with + and - value increaser like on bash.org

#quote number + - del
QUOTE HERE

like that, and how to do a top 100, random

without using mysql.

Ooble

Why can't you use MySQL or some other database? It'll make it soooooooooooo much easier.

my host does not have it.

In that case, I suggest getting a host which does. If that's not an option, you can have a PHP file with an array of quotes, and use the rand() function to pick them randomly.

Put them all in a file, putting each quote on a new line...

[php]
function getQuote($file) {
$file = implode("", file($file));
$file = explode("\n", $file);
$quoteNum = rand(0, count($file) -1);
return array("number" = >$quoteNum + 1, "quote" => $file[$quoteNum]);
}
[/php]

Example usage:
[php]
$newQuote = getQuote("yourQuotesFile.txt");
echo "Quote #{$newQuote['number']}:<br>\n";
echo "<ul>";
echo $newQuote["quote"];
echo "</ul>";
[/php]

my host sucks, no mysql, and I don't really feel like changing.

waht I really need to know is how to do a top 100 and make the + and - and x work.

You probably need to get a new host, might I suggest http://www.crd-hosting.com - they have mySQL and PHP support and plenty of other goodies at very affordable prices
