Running through a set of randomize page

Anon

Let say i have a page that can randomize an array of pages called shuffleselect.php.
i want to use this "NEXT" button here to point to the randomize page according to sequence.What should i do?
The problem is that every time i press the next button the whole script runs once,so the randomize array changes every time.I don't want that.I want the randomize array to run through all it's element before being randomize again.

please help.thanks in advance.

<?php
global $Rand;

      if ($i==49){
             $i=0;
             echo "question $i==$Rand[$i]";
         }
         else if ($i>=0&&$i<49){
             $i=$i+1;
             echo "question $i==$Rand[$i];";
         }

        $i=$i++;

</form>

Hi!

I guess what you should do is call the page as randomizepage.php for the first time. This will initialize the random number with

srand ((double) microtime() * 10000000);

Then pass this random number to other pages. Remember to call each page other than the first one with this additional query string parameter, for instance
randomizepage.php?sr=......&pid=2 (second page)

This is the only suggestion I have without storing the srand number in a session variable.

I guess to really make it work on a per-user basis you will need to use sessions (see manual).

Best,
Stas
