it works find with 4.3.3RC1 on
I can confirm that the funtion works fine using php 4.3.0. on Mac OS X.
While this may not be of any help, I will test on a later install on
a test server.
Thanks,
John

Use two rand()'s.
$foo = rand(2);
if ($foo == 0)
rand(first_set);
else
rand(second_set);

the min and max
Just do the obvious:
$rand = rand(33,111);
$num = ($rand>90) ? $rand+35 : $rand;

the min and max would work if I wanted the number between 33 and 146, but I
am wanting to specify two ranges, not just one.

not tested in code, but logically, this should work

You need to seed the random number generator first.

Hi April,
You need to plant seeds to reach this goal, it discusses this in manual
under rand() and mt_rand() so have a look here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php
Which links to and talks about srand :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php
A seedless rand()
this is a function that I wrote to solve this problem, but it is almost
impossible to get a truly random number you can get somthing pretty close by
seeding with somthing like the time function, using the seconds since epoch
and this should be hard to duplicate.
$rand";
$lownum = "1";
$highnum
Did you seed your random number generator?
ie: srand ((double) microtime() * 100);
