rand() is a good solution for random numbers. &nbsp;For the seconds portion of the time, use <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php" rel="ugc">date('s')</a> -- this will vary between 00 and 59. &nbsp;To get a value between 1 and 10, based on seconds, you might use this.
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42113336-1"><span>&lt;?php echo floor(date('s') / 6) + 1;</span>
</code></pre>
