Ok, I've managed to get pretty far stuck using MySQL 3.22 and PHP 4.0b2
for a project I'm working on, however I was hoping someone could help me
with a problem that's probably really simple to fix, just can't get my
head around it right now.
I need to pull 25 items out of a database randomly with no repeats. Since
I'm using MySQL 3.22 I can't use 'ORDER BY RAND()' and PHP4.0b2 doesn't
support the 'shuffle()' function (which apparently doesn't work too well
anyways.)
What I've got so far is:
for($i = 1; $i < 26; $i++) {
$rArray[$i] = rand(1,count(range(1,25)));
}
however, that causes repeats. So the bottom line is I need an array with
25 values (1 to 25) sorted randomly without repeats, and only using PHP
4.0b2 and earlier functions.
Thanks in advance,
