Hi Abhishek, It could be to do with the version of PHP you are running or platform. The function documentation says: Note: On some platforms (such as Windows) RAND_MAX is only 32768. If you require a range larger than 32768, specifying min and max will allow you to create a range larger than RAND_MAX, or consider using mt_rand() instead. Note: As of PHP 4.2.0, there is no need to seed the random number generator with srand() or mt_srand() as this is now done automatically. See more information at: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Hope that helps.
