Refused Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Just a quick query, while i learn about databases for PHP i am making a small script with the PHP i do know.What i have tried but just cant figure it out though (i need for the script im making) is a randomization. Basiclly i want is to have a randomized word to output on the page onced a user has filled in some info and pressed the submit button.Now i know how to do it all except for how to make a random word, i would like to add a fair amount of words in it.So would anyone either post, or explain how to make a random word appear.Thanks.

Refused Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thankyou for your help.That is very close how i had been doing it, i knew an array needed to be used to store the words but i couldent figure out that second part.Thanks.
