Tandem Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi,I have come to a situation where i need 2 variables that are both numbers, and both generated with rand(), and they both have to be different on every occasion.For example if they both equal 6, then that is bad.At the moment due to lack of knowledge of what to do properly, i am using the following code:[code]<?phpif (!empty($something)){$var1 = rand(1,52);$var2 = rand(1,52);if ($var1 == $var2){$var1 = rand(1,52);$var2 = rand(1,52);}if ($var1 == $var2){$var1 = rand(1,52);$var2 = rand(1,52);}if ($var1 == $var2){$var1 = rand(1,52);$var2 = rand(1,52);}}?>[/code]The chances of them still being the same after this is pretty small, but still possible. What is the proper way to solve my problem?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
