[SOLVED] 'Random' result, but giving possiblity?

[Michdd]

Is it possible that I could create something where it would output 1 of a couple of options, and give it so there's a probability different for each of those results?

You could maybe use shuffle with an array if that's what you mean?

Edit:

To be annoying:

 

Anything is possible, so yes it is possible, but what you are most likely asking is can we show you how?

Yea sorry, I know most things are possible, but I wasn't sure if this was possible, with shuffle you can set 1 thing to be output more commonly than another thing? If so, how?

I think you are stuck on the logic?

 

Example

 

<?php
$arr = array(
'1',
'1',
'2'
);
echo shuffle($arr[0]);// it has a 2 in 3 chance of printing the number 1
?>

or

<?php
$num = rand(0,3);//make a random number between 1 & 100
$arr = array(
'1',
'2',
'3'
);
echo $arr[$num];// this will show each one with the same chance.
?>

Ah, I see, awesome, thanks I a lot.
