How Would I do this?

[Pathogen]

How would I create a random number generator to use in a if statement?

 

rand(0-100)

 

Is that how you do it?

Re: How Would I do this?

Firstly you will probably want to use mt_rand i beleive its quicker then the standard rand

And to use a mt_rand in a if statement i beleive it would be something like

<?php
if(mt_rand(1,100) == 50) {
//Do w/e
}
?>

I have used mt_rand() before as well, however I did it differently to yours SkyFuse, but I think yours will work nonetheless.

$blah = mt_rand(1,1000)

if($blah == 14354) {

//blah blah

}

They both the same. With SkyFuse's way you can not display the generated number. With your's you can.

$blah = mt_rand(1,1000)

if($blah == 14354) {

//blah blah

}

As OPrime stated but you could add a bit of maths signs in there

$blah = mt_rand(1,1000)

if($blah < 500) { //less than 500

//blah blah

}

if($blah > 500) { //more than 500

//blah blah

}

}

Your stuck if it is 500..

 

if($blah < 500) { 
   //less than 500
} else { 
   //more than 500 or = to 500
}
