This arrray work?

[AlabamaHit]

I don't want to say exactly what this is for...but here it is.....its a project im working on was wondering if this would work.....

 

$time = rand(1,5);

$random = array('1' , '2' , '3' , '4' , '5');

$newtime = array('5' , '10' , '15', '20, '25');

$newtimes = str_replace($random, $newtime);

$query = sprintf('UPDATE `users` SET `something` = ("%u")' , $newtime);

        mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

 

What I am trying to do is make it udate the users "something" to a random number but only in the array like in example the array 5, 10, 15, 20, 25...

To try to explain better....I want it to run a random nubmer 1,2,3,4,5 <<< those random numbers.

Then i want it to replace those numbers (1,2,3,4,5,) with these numbers 5,10,15,20,25...

Then I want it to update the users "something" with the replaced number.....^^^^^^^

EDIT:

Or maybe this one?

$time = rand(1,5);

$newtime = str_replace(array('1' , '2' , '3' , '4' , '5'), array('5', '10', '15, '20', '25');

$query = sprintf('UPDATE `users` SET `something` = ("%u")' , $newtime);

        mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

 

What I am trying to get to is a random number of only increment of 5 (between 5-25)

Not 100% sure what you mean but ...

 

$array = array
(
0 => 5,
1 => 10,
2 => 20,
3 => 40,
4 => 80,
);

$rand  = mt_rand(0, 4);
$value = $array[$rand];

 

Now, $value contains one of the value (5, 10, 20, 40 or 80)
