note 17456 added to function.rand

[Page1.php] $seed = rand(1000000000,9999999999); echo "Seed = $seed"; [Page2.php] require("Page1.php"); echo "Seed = $seed"; [Output:] Page1 Seed = XXXXXXXXXX (Random 10 Digit Number) Page2 Seed = XXXXXXXXXX (A Different Random 10 Digit Number) I need help resolving the following issue: On a page, I set a variable as a randon number using the code above I find that when I call the variable from different pages, the random number in the variable changes. How can I get the initial random number passed from one page to another, without a new number being generated? Any Ideas???? -Darkive -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17456 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17456 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17456
