rand() simple

[azraf]

as said above, you can use rand() function.
e.g.
$v = rand(1, 999999);
It will assign the value of $v randomly between 1 to 999999.

If you need different values. You can use simple function.

<?php
function make_seed()
{
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
srand(make_seed());
$randval = rand();
?>

Or for an array of randomized array

$array = range(1,100);
shuffle($array);

int rand ( int $min , int $max ) function is to used to generate random number from the range.
