Make an array containing the characters/numbers/whatever you want to be selected at random then pick from it using a random integer generated from mt_rand[1] and echo your selection. If you have PHP < 4.2.0 you will also need to use mt_srand[2]. $field = array('a','b'); $field_max = count($field) - 1; echo $field[mt_rand(0, $field_max)]; [1] http://www.php.net/mt_rand [2] http://www.php.net/mt_srand -- Adam Bregenzer adam@bregenzer.net
