note 50344 added to function.rand

Here's the simplest way I've found to get random something without the need for an external file. Simple, but effective. <?php function func(){ //Randomize selection. In this case, 5 (0,1,2,3,4,5). $x = rand()&4; $vars = array( //Insert your data into array. 0 => "var1", 1 => "var2", 2 => "var3", 3 => "var4", 4 => "var5" ); echo $vars[$x]; } ?> The only problem with that is that it's not really random, and that you sometimes get the same result several times. I've seen sollutions to this using microtime(), but I can't think of them off the top of my head. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50344 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50344&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50344&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50344&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50344&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50344&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50344&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
