I don't even know why there are 40 items when you are pulling from a
selection of 10 - there's going to be duplicates. Maybe that doesn't
matter... I think someone else actually had what Richard was really after.

But each item in your list is an array. He wants single values.

So much simpler, more efficient, and actually correct.

No, this will produce an array of only 39 elements, assuming there was not
already one. This can be easily fixed, of course.
Still,
$keys = range(1, 40);
$ayr = array_combine($keys, array_map(function () {
return rand(60, 69);
}, $keys)));
is much more elegant :)

Yes, but it's a shame about the extra ')'. I think
$ayr = array_map(function () { return rand(60, 69); },
array_fill(1, 40, null));
is a little simpler.

Ah, yes, no idea how that got in there. Should have been
$keys = range(1, 40);
$ayr = array_combine($keys, array_map(function () {
return rand(60, 69);
}, $keys));

ACK. Actually, I had experimented with array_fill() but, strangely enough,
I overlooked this possibility. (I had posted something similar with regard
to letters not long ago.)

Shorter, maybe - but arguably NOT simpler. Hand that code to a new PHP
programmer and he/she will have no idea.
It's generally better to code for clarity first.

Surely that would depend on their background would it not? Anyway, I
meant simpler that the version using array_combine and array_map.

Yes, I agree, but clarity is not an absolute, and aiming to be clear to
beginners puts considerable constraints on design and coding.

No, it does not. You may not be the only one looking at it.

Not at all. But not being able to be clear in coding shows a lack of
good programming skills.

I would do it like this:
$arr = array_fill(0, 40, 0);
array_walk($arr, function(&$v, $k) { $v = rand(60, 69); });
That will provide you with an array containing 40 elements, each a
random integer between 60 and 69:
print_r($arr);
Array
(
[0] => 60
[1] => 69
[2] => 63
[3] => 63
[4] => 64
[5] => 65
[6] => 68
[7] => 67
[8] => 67
[9] => 67
[10] => 63
[11] => 69
[12] => 65
[13] => 60
[14] => 68
[15] => 62
[16] => 67
[17] => 65
[18] => 60
[19] => 65
[20] => 62
[21] => 69
[22] => 69
[23] => 64
[24] => 68
[25] => 65
[26] => 69
[27] => 66
[28] => 61
[29] => 69
[30] => 61
[31] => 61
[32] => 68
[33] => 64
[34] => 64
[35] => 63
[36] => 60
[37] => 63
[38] => 60
[39] => 67

(although I suspect that he really wants either indexes 1 .. 40 or 0 ..
39, but it's hard to tell which he wants from his code.
Hence my solution of:
$x=40;
$song=array();
while(--$x)$song[$x]=sprintf("http://mroldies.net/audio/19%d/%d-%03d.mp3",
$y=rand(60,69),$y,rand(1,100));

Thank you for pointing that out, Dennis.
My code can be trivially modified to do this:
$arr = array_fill(0, 40, 'http://mroldies.net/audio/19%u/%u-%03u.mp3');
array_walk($arr, function(&$v, $k) { $yr = rand(60, 69); $v =
sprintf($v, $yr, $yr, rand(1, 100)); });
Will yield the following array which I have cut short to reduce noise:
print_r($arr);
Array
(
[0] => http://mroldies.net/audio/1966/66-007.mp3
[1] => http://mroldies.net/audio/1967/67-021.mp3
[2] => http://mroldies.net/audio/1962/62-016.mp3
[…]
)
Each person prefers their own solution and I am no different. I prefer
mine because I find it readable whilst only requiring two lines, of
course you could add a few more line breaks in if preferable. The
highlights for me are utilising a PHP native function to walk the array
instead of writing your own iterator using some form of while or for
loop, a lambda function for the processing, and the fantastic
formatting abilities of sprintf.

The question here is not whether YOU find it readable - does the NEW GUY
find it readable?
I've seen more bugs in code because people try to get fancy or short
than when they try to be clear. Good programmers understand this.

Which *still* is _not_ what was asked for, which is (for whatever reason)
keys from _1_ to _40_ inclusive.
It is also less than optimal to store the repeating prefix in the array, but
you might only have gotten the idea that this was wanted from the precursor.

You are missing the point.

Dear PointedEars
I am so sorry - I sometimes assume that people (on a PHP dev mailing
list) would be able to make very basic adjustments to snippets that I
posted to accommodate for discrepencies. I take it you are not one and
have not programmed PHP before and are just looking to get started.
Allow me to show you how to make such a change in order to produce an
array index 1 to 40 inclusive… You will need to change:
$arr = array_fill(0, 40, 'http://mroldies.net/audio/19%u/%u-%03u.mp3');
to
$arr = array_fill(1, 40, 'http://mroldies.net/audio/19%u/%u-%03u.mp3');
There is no problem storing a repeated prefix in the initial array as
the output array will contain it anyway. Since the value is replaced
in-situ memory usage would be approximately the same. Infact there is
only one array that is programmatically manipulated. If the URL is not
required to be stored in the array then please ask me for help again
and I will be glad to show you how to delete the characters comprising
the URL from the snippet.
Cheers
Gabe

It is impolite to full-quote a posting, particularly to quote the signature
of a posting without referring to it. Learn to quote.

This is not a mailing list, it is a Usenet newsgroup. But it makes no
significant difference in that regard:

You have posted *twice* now something that fails to address the problem at
hand. You have been notified of that twice now. You have posted a
correction that is suboptimal, and you have been notified of that. And you
of all people dare to patronize others? Go away.

I have more than 14 years of professional experience in software development
with PHP now.

If you cared to read, *I* know how it is done.
