Although I am enrolled in a programming class at my high school next semester, I don't have any clue how to solve this. The problem is to create a code that generates all possible combinations of 211 applicants for 5 positions selected randomly. The code has to be able to actually generate the code, not just tell how many combinations there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There was a similar question a little while ago in a thread called "loops" - it's not exactly what you're after, but it may put you on the right track.

I think we should set up a special forum for "php and computer algorithm" :D

Sorry, the "Do my homework" forum is now closed. Here is the "I did my homework, but it didn't quite work, here's what I tried" forum.

I'm tempted to lock this thread.. I suggest you follow Mordred advice.
