Im currently making a Lotto type website,and i dont know where to look but i need to find something when users sign up,a random number is giving to them. Thats basicly all i need...Any help would be greatly appreciated..


Thanks Alot,

A random number meaning what -- random generated password?

You just need a script is all. You could do it with Javascript. The better option would be to use a server-side script. Try posting in the programming forums.

For instance, PHP has a built in function that will produce a random number when it is called.

thanks alot Tom M. Thats what i needed.

PHP Code:

<?php
print rand(1, 1000000);
?>

This will print a random number between 1 and 1000000.

That will work, but the number could be anything from 1 to whatever. If you need the numbers to be the same number of digits, I think you have to put a little more into the equation.
