Help with random array numbers

[reddog]

Hello all, I am newbie to php programming, any suggestions or advance greatly appreciated.

 

I can't figure out how to output two array random numbers in ascending order.

 

<?php

 

$l_numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,

28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47);

 

$mega = range(1, 27);

 

 

for($i = 0; $i <= 4; $i++)  {

 

 

$random1 = array_rand($l_numbers);

  echo "$random1 \n" ;

}

for($e = 1; $e <= 1; $e++) {

 

$random2 = array_rand($mega);

  echo "<p> Mega number is $random2 </p>";

}

 

echo "Winning numbers are $random1 and mega $random2";

 

?>

 

example: Winning numbers are 3,5,10,17,39 and mega 5.

Can you please let us know what is the expected output

The output I am looking for is:

 

5 random numbers from first array and 1 random number from second array in ascending order.

 

Example: The winning numbers are 4,7,20,27, 31 and Mega number is 4.

Have you looked into array_rand():

For the sorting part, you could look into sort():

Sorry, just noticed that you're already using array_rand(). You could simplify the code by doing something like:

 

<?php
//...
$random1 = array_rand($l_numbers, 5);
sort($random1);
echo implode(', ', $random1);
//...
?>
