catergory rotate

if(!$_GET['categ_id']) $_GET['categ_id'] = 6;

Code (markup):

tried

$category = isset($_GET['categ_id']) ? $_GET['categ_id'] : rand(1,3,8,5);

Code (markup):

can i call random numbers?

 

Since mt_rand and rand use a range, I would use an array of available numbers.

Something like this.

$allowed = array(1,3,8,5);

$category = isset($_GET['categ_id']) ? (int) $_GET['categ_id'] : $allowed[array_rand($allowed)];

PHP:

 

nope didnt work

 

What's not working? I tested it and it returns one of the values every time.

 

Works for me, too. I was going to post similar code, but John beat me to it.

 

Sorry, J beat me to it

 

I was going to post:

$category = isset($_GET['categ_id']) ? $_GET['categ_id'] : rand(1,8); // if you want a random number between 1 and 8
echo $category . "<br />\n";

$arr = array(1,3,8,5);
$category2 = isset($_GET['categ_id2']) ? $_GET['categ_id2'] : $arr[array_rand($arr,1)]; // if you want only the numbers listed in the array
echo $category2;
