That's just a loop construct to make it iterate 5 times:
$i=0 : set counter $i to 0
$i<5 : if $i is less than 5 then execute the loop
$i++ : increment the value of $i by one upon completion of the loop
Lotto number generator help
I’ve been trying to make a script that generates random lotto numbers. The problem is, the numbers generated, aren’t always unique. Sometimes the same number is rolled twice. Any Ideas?
[code=php]
<?php
$n1 = mt_rand(1,47);
$n2 = mt_rand(1,47);
$n3 = mt_rand(1,47);
$n4 = mt_rand(1,47);
$n5 = mt_rand(1,47);
$bonus = mt_rand(1,27);
print “<p>$n1, $n2, $n3, $n4, $n5, <span style=”color:red”>$bonus</span></p>n”;
?>

$randomNumbers = array(); // storage array
for ($i=0;$i<5;$i++) {
$random = mt_rand(1,47);
while(in_array($random,$randomNumbers)) {
$random = mt_rand(1,47); }
array_push($randomNumbers,$random);
}
print_r($randomNumbers);

Although I don't quite understand...
