[SOLVED] php registration script question

[Jiraiya]

i was wondering how would i make it so a random word from a list would be put into a database table when they sign up for my site? so in other words i want to have a random word to be set as one of the users variables when they sign up and i want to have it so that each word has a preset percentage of that word being picked for the database.

Have a table that stores the random words, then use a random number generator for as many rows as you have and let it pick one.

so i have to make a different database that contains the words? then how would i make a percent chance that a word will be choosen to be placed into the users variable when they sign up since i dont want the user to pick it?

You don't have to use a DB, you can use a static array as well, up to you.

 

You want it flexible or do you want to hard code it?

Wouldn't it be easier just to use random numbers instead?

 

If you want a random number between 1000 and 9999 you'd use:

$num=mt_rand(1000,9999);

no i dont want random numbers i want random words from a list i create and then have a set percentage that that word will be chosen

how would i make it so a random number is picked and then stored all in the same script?
