PHP Array function to return random integers -

i new php , trying create function generates , returns sorted array containing 6 random numbers , printing this. code have far follows:

    function getrow($ball){         $ball = array();         for($i=1;$i<=6;$i++){             return $ball;         }         sort($ball);        }      echo '<pre>';     print_r(getrow(rand(1,59)));     echo '</pre>'; 

the problem have no idea why printing 1 random number array. can me why or going wrong, if going wrong?

try instead, there many issues original code

$ball = []; for($i=1;$i<=6;$i++){     $ball[] = rand(1,59); } sort($ball);  echo '<pre>'; print_r($ball); echo '</pre>'; 

result

array (     [0] => 3     [1] => 16     [2] => 20     [3] => 32     [4] => 39     [5] => 51 ) 

or, using function

function getrow() {     $ball = [];     for($i=1;$i<=6;$i++){         $ball[] = rand(1,59);     }     sort($ball);      return $ball; }  echo '<pre>'; print_r(getrow()); echo '</pre>';
