Random Numbers

[rob67930]

I want to make a script that will gernerate 2000 unique 5 digit id #'s. I can create 1 with no problem but can't seem to make and print 2000 of them. Can anyone help or point me to a good doc on the subject?

srand(time());
    for ($i=25698; $i < 99999; $i++)
    {
      $random = (rand()%99999);
      $ID     = $random;
      $min    = 25698;
      $max    = 99999;
    }
	 if($ID == $min || $max);
     {
      print("<table width=\"27%\" border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" height=\"54\">
  <tr bgcolor=\"#CCCCFF\"> 
    <td> 
      <div align=\"center\">$ID</div>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>");
     }
   exit;

Maybe I dont completely understand what you are attempting. But you only need a for loop and the rand() function.

If you read the specs of the rand function at http://www.php.net/rand you will see that you can set a min and max for the rand().

thus if you...

for ($x = 0; $x <= 2000; $x++) {
     echo (rand(10000, 99999) . "<br>");
}

this should print out 2000 random numbers between 10000 and 99999 (5 digits)

Let me know if this is not what you are looking for
