It would work by creating arrays of values and then just selecting like: $year = array(2002, 2003, 2004, 2005); $month = array ('Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sept','Okt','Nov','Dez '); $date = $month[rand(0,count($month))].' '.rand(0,31).', '.$year[rand(0,count($year))]; But there might be an easyer and faster (better performant) way.
