about random numbers.

[Anon]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out if there is an easy way to do something.

I am picking SIX numbers from say 0-50 or whatever.

Here is how I am picking:
srand(time());
$num1 =(rand()%50);
$num2 =(rand()%50);
$num3 =(rand()%50);
$num4 =(rand()%50);
$num5 =(rand()%50);
$num6 =(rand()%50);

That works. My problem is, I want to make sure that none of the numbers are dupes.

So if it picked say 1 14 14 22 44 22

It would redraw the 3rd # as to not be a dupe.

any way to do this that is not super drawn out?

I'd be inclined to put my numbers into an array. generate the number into a variable, see if it's in the array, if not then add. If you use functions well then your code won't be cumbersome.
