You can easy make a large random number, with a small function. Here it goes: <?php function randomNr($number) { if($number) { for($i=1;$i<=$number;$i++) { $nr=rand(0,9); $total=$total.$nr; } return $total; } } ?> Just call this function like this: randomNr(some_number); Example: $random=randomNr(4); returns a number between 0 and 9999 $random=randomNr(6); returns a number between 0 and 999999 $random=randomNr(9999); This does work and pretty fast too, too long to post :) Hope it helps, Wesley -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31579 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31579 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31579
