Is there any randstring('string1','string2',etc) command? Tnx for your time As above, I have a lottery style site that picks a random number between 1-8 but my users complain for some reason that this is not enough. So i was told to look into using fopen and random.org to generate a random number. Anyone have experience of this and perhaps a code snippet for me to look at and possibly use? help will be appreciated.
