Getting Different Random Numbers

[MuRD3ReR]

How can i get different random numbers ? For example i need 5 numbers it will pick from 0 to 5 and the 5 numbers won't equal with others and i want to be with the FOR loop.

 

Exapmle i want something like this ;

 

for($ix=0;$ix < 5;$ix++) {

 

$rand_number = rand(0, 5);

                echo $rand_number;

 

}

 

 

I want the numbers to be different from others.

You would need to use RANGE in this case... similiar to Python Lists

 

<?php
$min =0;
$max = 5;
$rand = range($min, $max);
$number = array();
shuffle($rand);

for($i=0;$i<=count($rand);$i++){
  
   $number = $rand;

}
print_r($number);
?>

 

Array
(
    [0] => 0
    [1] => 3
    [2] => 4
    [3] => 2
    [4] => 1
    [5] => 5
)

No second the code, my first code I misunderstood what you wanted..

 

The second code will do exactly what you want.

 

No Problem.

Works great and your second code

Np, hope your still not using the first code, because it WON'T generate the amount of numbers you want specifically. It will populate it with 5 numbers, however if 2 of those 5 numbers are the same it will take one of them away. What you want is a range of 5 total digits with different numbers..

 

so Again, use the second code if you havn't yet, and its my pleasure to help.
