Hi,

Please tell me what you think will happen if I run:


function sesid()
{
for($i=0; $i++; $i<8)
{
$num = rand(1,9);
$sesid .= $num;
}
}

sesid();

I know what SHOULD happen but I don't think it's working.

Thanks.

Cant see anything wrong with it. I ran it and i get a number between 1 and 9. so it works :)

function sesid( )
{

for( $i = 0; $i < 8; $i++ )
{

$num = rand( 1,9 );
$sesid .= $num;

}

return $sesid;

}

$id = sesid( );

You're supposed to get an 8 digit number haha.




function sesid( )
{

for( $i = 0; $i < 8; $i++ )
{

$num = rand( 1,9 );
$sesid .= $num;

}

return $sesid;

}

$id = sesid( );



Works like a charm, thanks very much. +rep

If you're trying to get an eight digit number why not do-

rand( "10000000", "99999999" );

If you're trying to get an eight digit number why not do-

rand( "10000000", "99999999" );

That'd be the better method.

function sesid( )
{

for( $i = 0; $i < 8; $i++ )
{

$num = rand( 1,9 );
$sesid .= $num;

}

return $sesid;

}

$id = sesid( );



Ah well as long as it works it's fine. Like the wires at the back of my computer, messy, but works great ;)

For loops are a lot slower than Toms method. Your logic is... interesting.

Haha fine, I'll test it and use it.



$id = rand( "10000000", "99999999" );
$sesid = $id;
works like a charm :) would +rep Tom but gotta spread.

rand( "10000000", "99999999" );

Why are you using strings on a number randomiser?
