So I need to call it each time the page gets reloaded I guess.... I can't just have the user load a file called generate.php which has the mt_srand....and then keep calling random.php (which has mt_rand) without calling generate.php right?

As of version 4.2.0 you don't have to call it at all. If your PHP installation is an earlier version than that, call it once per script, before generating any random numbers, e.g: mt_srand($seed); $randomA = mt_rand(); $randomB = mt_rand(); $randomC = mt_rand(); > Just once? Or each time the page gets reloaded? Uh... same thing, surely? Cheers Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
