big array question

[EdwardJ]

hi,

im a complete noob, so please dont be annoyed if this is too obvious.

im trying to get a very big array (say 100 positions) with each one calling rand() function. So far Ive come up with this, but it doesnt work. i think it goes to an infinite loop

$rand_array=array();
for ($i=0; $i=100; $i++){
	$rand_array[$i]=rand();
	echo $rand_array[$i];
        }

yes it does. what you meant to do is:

for ($i=0; $i<100; $i++){

youre right it does work

 

sorry, i must have changed something when retyping it here

<?php
$f = array_fill(0, 100, '');    
$f = array_map(create_function('', 'return rand();'), $f);
print_r($f);
?>

 

I'd personally have used something like that.

Why, when it takes 2-3 times longer?
