PHP Lottery Number Generator

Here we have a simply PHP Lottery Number Generator. The script will generate 6 unique numbers from 1 to 49. This was designed for the UK National Lottery but only takes a few seconds to edit for other lotteries.

To change the quantity of numbers you would like to generate, change the 6 on this line to however many numbers you need:
while (count($numbers) < 6) {

To increase the maximum number, change the 49 on both of these lines:
$randomn = rand(1, 49);


<?php
$x = 0;
$numbers[0] = 0;
while (count($numbers) < 6) {
$randomn = rand(1, 49);
while(in_array($randomn, $numbers)) {
$randomn = rand(1, 49);
}
$numbers[$x] = $randomn;
$x++;
echo "Number $x is: $randomn.<br />";
}
?>


Tip: To edit this script for the EuroMillions, simply copy and paste the whole script twice. On the second paste just edit the while loop from 6 to 2, and the rand from 49 to 9.

PHP Random Number Generator

This is a very simple php random number generator script.

Creating a random number takes two commands; srand and rand. srand is a preparation command for rand. It helps rand create a truely random number, rand itself creates the random number.
 
The $from variable is the lowest number possible, and $to is the highest number possible. Simple edit the two variables to suit your requirements.

<?php
$from = 0;
$to = 100;
srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);
$random_number = rand($from, $to);
echo "$random_number";
?>
