Note Submitter: phpdeveloper AT o2 DOT pl ---- This is most simple random array generator, hope zo ;-) Moreover it uses some PHP array features :-), and does not search through array haystack, just checks for data if its set :P. <?php function GetRandomArray($min,$max,$num) { #data check $range = 1 + $max + $min; if ($num > $range) return false; if ($num < 1) return false; #data prep $result = array(); $a = rand($min,$max); $result[$a] = $a; #loop me baby ;-) while(count($result) < $num) { do {$a = rand($min,$max); } while(isset($result[$a])); $result[$a] = $a; } return $result; } var_dump(GetRandomArray(3,10,5)); ?> nice coding 4 U all :-) [k3oGH]
