DKDiveDude forgot one thing in his function.
I tested it, and I found out the random output could even be smaller then $intMin.
This was because he forgot to multiply $intMin with $intPowerTen.
Below DKDiveDude's function with the edit
<?php
// Floating point random number function
// April 2007, René W. Feuerlein
function fprand($intMin,$intMax,$intDecimals) {
if($intDecimals) {
$intPowerTen=pow(10,$intDecimals);
return rand($intMin*$intPowerTen,$intMax*$intPowerTen)/$intPowerTen;
}
else
return rand($intMin,$intMax);
}
?>
