A php function to return random values
September 22, 2007 – 11:24I was looking for a method in php that would return unequal numbers using the rand() function. I found an answer on php.net and all credit goes to alishahnovin at hotmail dot com. The method is as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | function randiff($min, $max, $num) { if ($min<$max && $max-$min+1 >= $num && $num>0) { $random_nums = array(); $i=0; while($i<$num) { $rand_num = rand($min, $max); if (!in_array($rand_num, $random_nums)) { $random_nums[] = $rand_num; $i++; } } return $random_nums; } else { return false; } } |
Usage:
$nums = randiff(0,10,2); $var1 = $nums[0]; $var2 = $nums[1];
