Giving rand another value

[MacMyDay]

How can I have rand() having more than one value for the same page? I want to insert a random digit into my database 5 times over, yet using rand() just inserts the same random digits in over and over. I could just do crypt($differentstring); each time, yet that's not the coding spriti! I'd need to make it the same length too.

Why not just use rand() five times? Or, if you need more "randomosity", try mt_rand(). It is the same as rand(), but more random.
