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.
?>
