I've used this script to generate an array of random numbers with a numeric key. I got an array of over 200,000 on this system, and got <1000 using the examples submitted previously. I haven't managed to return the array variable outside the function, but have written it to a database.

<?php
function rand_array($start, $end, $rangemin, $rangemax)
{
$array = array_fill($start, $end, 1);

	foreach($array as $key => $value)
		{
		$value = rand($rangemin,$rangemax);
		print "$key: $value<br>\n";
		}
}

$start = 1;
$end = 1000;
$rangemin = 1;
$rangemax = 20000;

rand_array($start, $end, $rangemin, $rangemax);
?>
