The solution is only:
echo $music;
I said that it was necessary to print with echo both $music and $value,
but only echo $music is necessary for things to work properly. Anyway it
is bad, it is a bug, PHP 4.3.11 has problems with this combination of
Switch and rand(), or something wrong is happening. It should work well
without printing $ music variable.

The full code is:
<?php
echo "<form action='index.php' method='post'>";
echo "<input type='submit' name='stopmusic' value = 'Stop Music'>";
if ($_POST[stopmusic]) {
}
else{
$value = rand(1,51);//Random between 1 to 51 (inclusive).
switch($value){

randow will always give a valid number.
} //End of Switch.
echo "<embed src='$music' hidden='true' volume='75%'>";
} //End of If.
?>
As I said before, if $value=50, $music should be
'shakira_underneathyourclothes.mid', but $music takes another random
value. The solution is:
echo $value;
echo $music;
But why do I have to print the values for things to work properly?

Description:
------------
Hi , this is really really weird, I think it is a problem with PHP
language, maybe the version PHP5 does not have this problem. Do you
remember that you suggested me to change the Ifs for Switch? I did it,
but for example if song 5 was "vivi.mid", it plays another random song,
even when the result of random is 5. I checked carefully the code and it
is good. The solution is to print the variables, both variables, the one
of case (the one that will have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and the one with the
value assigned for each case (example $music=vivi.mid). But if I do not
print the 2 variables, it playes something always random but different
than the corresponding case. It is totally crazy, but this is out of my
hands to control, I think it is a problem with PHP language, probably
other versions have improved this. It is weird and crazy. But since you
believe that case will make this faster than If (and I believe that
too), I will use Switch, and I will try to find a way to print the two
variables but invisible, example:
$value = rand(1,51);//Random between 1 to 51 (inclusive).
switch($value){
case 1:
$music = 'pactos.mid';
break;
case 2:
$music = 'otrave.mid';
break;
}
echo "<embed src='$music' hidden='true' volume='75%'>";
If I don't print both $value and $music with echo, the results are
crazy, because $value takes the value of 1 and $music takes other value,
let's say the song corresponding to $value 40. So, crazy thing, oh well,
I will see how to print the two variables invisible, which solves the
problem.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$value = rand(1,51);//Random between 1 to 51 (inclusive).
switch($value){
case 1:
$music = 'pactos.mid';
break;
case 2:
$music = 'otrave.mid';
break;
}
echo "<embed src='$music' hidden='true' volume='75%'>";
Expected result:
----------------
If $value=1, I would expect to hear pactos.mid song, but I hear a
different one, like the one in case 2, or any other different case.
Actual result:
--------------
If $value=1, I would expect to hear pactos.mid song, but I hear a
different one, like the one in case 2, or any other different case.
