random number

[bob_rock]

hello ,

I'm new to php , and i'm trying to make a script that will write down random numbers for example form 0-9.
I know how to do this , but i don't want the numbers to repeat.

thank you,

Whats your random number code? TIA

Something like;

[code]<?php

$iRandMin = 0;
$iRandMax = 9;
$iNumOfRandomInts = 5;
$aNumbers = array();

for($i = 0; $i < $iNumOfRandomInts;)
{
$iRand = rand($iRandMin, $iRandMax);
if(in_array($iRand, $aNumbers))
{
continue;
}else{
$aNumbers[] = $iRand;
$i++;
}
}
print_r($aNumbers); //** array with your random numbers in it.
?>[/code]

I dunno if there are any php funcs to do this, so yeah...

Tip: If your going to use this, turn it into a function :)
Note: Mathematically, this could take forever, if the values that come up are already in the array...

hth.

Here it is, don't know if this is ok , but it's almost working.
It reads the number of letters in the word and then it randomly prints out the letters.
The anoying thing is that the letters repeat...
Sorry for my bad english ...  :P
<?php
$beseda='Nina';
$sum=strlen($beseda);
$i=1;
$c=$sum-1;
do {
$a=$sum-($sum-$i);
$i++;
$b=rand(0,"$c");
$crka=$beseda[$b];
echo $crka;
} while($a<$sum);
?>

If i understand your last post correctly you want to randomize the string "Nina" ?
[code]
<?php

$beseda = 'Nina';
$pieces = str_split($beseda);
shuffle($pieces);
foreach($pieces as $piece)
{
echo $piece;
}

?>
[/code]

There is also [code=php:0]str_shuffle('Nina');[/code] Though you need a version of at least 4.3 in PHP
