note 56872 added to function.rand

Here is a function I wrote to generate an array with a unigue set of numbers in each place. You can enter the Min and the Max number to pick from and the number of array places to generate for. random_loop([# of Array Places], [Min], [Max]); <?php $cols = random_loop(9, 0, 9); function random_loop($num, $min, $max){ $rand[0] = mt_rand($min, $max); for($i = 1; $i<$num; $i++){ do{ $check = true; $rand[$i] = mt_rand($min, $max); for($ii = 0; $ii < (count($rand)-1); $ii++){ if($rand[$i] == $rand[$ii] && $check){ $check = false; break; } } }while (!$check); } return $rand; } ?> Enjoy and use at your will. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56872 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56872&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56872&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56872&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56872&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56872&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56872&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56872&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56872&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
