Daniel0 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Use MySQL for that instead. See this topic: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,125759.0.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the182guy Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 SELECT username FROM users WHERE online > $timenow ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 4 That will pick 4 random users from the database, as long as there is 4 online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
