erm. so far as i can see (just a bit beyond my monitor), windows is limited to random numbers between -32767 and 32767. now if you want to have a rand in a bigger range, why not make a function that repeatedly calls rand() and adds the return values till it finds a number in your range? (and then say, for a random number of times between 1 and 5, adds a random number between 1 and 10) ? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22283 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22283 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22283
