RANDOM ARRAY (all different numbers)

This is a new version of a function published in this forum:

function GetRandomArray($min,$max,$num) {
   
   #data check
   $range = 1 + $max - $min;
   if ($num > $range) return false;
   if ($num < 1) return false;
   
   #data prep
   $result = array();
   $count = 0;
   $currentnum = 0;   
   
   #loop me baby ;-)
   while(count($result) < $num) {
          $currentnum = rand($min,$max);
          if (!in_array($currentnum,$result)){
                $result[$count] = $currentnum;
	   $count++;
          }
    }
   
   return $result;
}
