Following function returns an array containing unique random numbers. In my opinion a nice way of using array_unique: function rand_numbers($min,$max,$item_nbr) { $return_array = array(); while (count($return_array)<$item_nbr) { $return_array[] = rand($min,$max); $return_array = array_unique($return_array); } return $return_array; } $min and $max set the range for the rand() function. Use $item_nbr to tell the function how many random, unique numbers you want. (Feedback is appreciated) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php
