If you dont need *serious* random numbers, for e.g. a simple banner rotation you may do something
like this:
<br>
$rand_key = date("s") % sizeof($myarray);
<br>
this will rotate through the array every second. It is easier and faster than the random number
generator.
<br>You may also use REMOTE_PORT or the Process-Id to get a more randomized number
