[PHP] rand()

I am wanting to use rand() to generate a number between 33-90 OR 125-146. Is there a way to do this? I don't want any numbers before 33 or between 91-124 or after 146. Could someone point me in the direction I need to look to accomplish this. Thanks, Jeff -- PHP General Mailing List (http:

[PHP] Rand seeding

All, I remember a patch being committed to CVS a while back which auto-seeded rand() if it hadn't been manually called already. Is this in PHP 4.1.1? If so, does it also work for mt_rand()? Thanks, ~ZG~ _ Get your FREE downlo

$n = rand(33, 112); if ($n > 90) $n += 34; not tested in code, but logically, this should work Martin -Original Message- From: Jeff Sittler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] rand() I am wanting to use rand()

the min and max would work if I wanted the number between 33 and 146, but I am wanting to specify two ranges, not just one. Please RTFP Jeff "Jason Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > On Thursday 14 March 2002 13:31, Jeff Sittler wrote: > > I am wanting to use

Just do the obvious: $rand = rand(33,111); $num = ($rand>90) ? $rand+35 : $rand; On Wed, 13 Mar 2002, Jeff Sittler wrote: > I am wanting to use rand() to generate a number between 33-90 OR 125-146. > Is there a way to do this? I don't want any numbers before 33 or between > 91-124 or

[PHP] rand(), mt_rand(), and my inability to make either of them random.

I have this scriptlet: $items = 6; $randnum = rand(1,$items); echo $randnum . ""; Always, no matter how many times I hit refresh, it'll always return the lowest possible value, in this case 1. If I have rand(4,$items), it returns four. So I tried mt_rand(), with this: $items = 6; $randnum = m
