What I need to do is create a random 3 digit number.. for something im working on..

searched google but couldn't find much.. only thing I found was a way to create a random number but it ended up giving me 1 and 2 digit numbers aswell.. and I need a 3 digit number!

So if someone could help with a sample of the code that would be great.

Thanks

Did a search for "php random three digit number" on google and this was the very first result...

PHP Code:

<?php
/*  RandomDigit  1.0  --  Copyright  1998  by  Michael  A.  Smith  --  msmith@dn.net
This  function  returns  a  random  string  of  a  specified  number  of  digits
without  leading  zeros.  For  example,  if  three  digits  are  specified,  the
function  will  return  a  random  three-digit  number  from  100  to  999.  If  you
specify  an  eight-digit  string  you  will  not  get  numbers  with  fewer  than
eight  digits,  e.g.  376  or  6.  */

function  randomdigit($digits)  {  
      static  $startseed  =  0;  
      if  (!$startseed)  {
            $startseed  =  (double)microtime()*getrandmax();  
            srand($startseed);
      }
      $range  =  8;
      $start  =  1;
      $i  =  1;
      while  ($i<$digits)  {
            $range  =  $range  .  9;
            $start  =  $start  .  0;
            $i++;
      }
      return  (rand()%$range+$start);  
}
?>

I must have been using the wrong keywords

Thanks anyway!

No problem, I do it too at times.

This also generates random 3 digit number

PHP Code:

<?

$random = rand(100, 999);

echo "$random";

?>

thanks
