Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone can help me with a problem that I have spent a day trying to google and make it work for me. Basically i am trying to create a little app to generate a series of images from my photo stash. I have it working on a basic level. However I want to make sure there are no dupe images. All the image locations are are read into an array from a text file. Then I use                             $random_img=int(rand($total_input_lines)); This gives a random number for the image to use from the array of possibles. The only problem it doesn't take into account that there may be several duplications. Is there any simple way to make sure that any image is not repeated? Any help would be appreciated. Stu
