Here's the original code:

$text_path ='NULL';
$text = array( 0,0,0,0,0 );
$text_ads_count = 5
$current = 1;

This function will be called 4 or five times per page
like this:
<tr>
<td>
<?
	get_text_ad( $current++ );
	include( $text_path );
?>
</td>
</tr>


function get_random_number( $m, $l )

{	
	srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);
	return rand( $m, $l );		
}
		

		
function get_text_ad( $cur ){
	
	
		
		global $text_path, $text, $text_ads_count;
		
		// set the current table to be used
		$table_name = 'ads_text';
		$update_field = 'presence';
		
		if( $cur == 1 )
		{
			$id = get_random_number( 1, $text_ads_count );
			// Based on this number select the record from the
db
			$sql = "select path from $table_name where
ad_id=$id";

			$result = runQuery( $sql  );

			list( $text_path ) = mysql_fetch_array( $result );

			$text[$cur] = $id;

			update_table( $table_name, $id, $update_field);			
		}// end if first occurrance
		else
		{
			while( !checkit( $id = get_random_number( 1,
$text_ads_count ) ) ){
				
				
				// Based on this number select the record from the
db
				$sql = "select path from $table_name where
ad_id=$id";

				$result = runQuery( $sql );
				list( $text_path ) = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
				$text[$cur] = $id;
				
				update_table( $table_name, $id, $update_field );
			}// end while loop
		}//end else
	}// end function get_text********************
	
	
	function checkit( $g ){
		global $text, $id;
		
		for( $i = 1; $i <= 6; $i++ )
		{
		if( $text[$i] == $g )
		{ 
		print( 'ID: ' . $id . '<br>I: ' . $i . '<br>Text[' .
$i . ']: ' . $text[$i] .
		 '<br>g: ' . $g );
		return true;
		}
		
		}	
		return false;	
		}

Thanks.
