A very easy method for generating for generating an array of UNIQUE random numbers:
<?php
$rand = array();
while (count($rand) < $total ) {
$r = mt_rand($min,$max);
if ( !in_array($r,$rand) ) {
$rand[] = $r;
}
}
?>
whereby $total is the number of unique random numbers you want, $min is the lowest possible value
and $max is the highest possible value.
