My previous custom unique random generator class example with a safety valve: <?php class uniqueRandom { private $rands = array(); function generate($i, $ii) { if (array_diff(range($i, $ii), $this -> rands)) { while ($rand = mt_rand($i, $ii)) { if (!in_array($rand, $this -> rands)) { $this-> rands [] = $rand; return $rand; } } } return "No more unique number to return."; } } //Test example $myUnique = new uniqueRandom; for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) { echo $myUnique -> generate(1, 10)." "; } //This will produce 5 unique random numbers from 1 to 10. ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 94.54.97.136 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116831 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116831/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116831/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116831/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116831/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116831/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116831/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116831 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116831 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
