Missing Logic Looping Through Switch Statement

Having trouble with the logic when looping over this switch case again:

Code:
for (j = 0; data[j] != 0; j++){
     switch(data[j]){

    case 'c': 
            output[j] = ranit(r_brace_array);
            break;
    case 'h': 
            output[j] = ranit(pipe_array);
            break;            
    case 'e':
            output[j] = ranit(tilday_array);
            break;
    case 's':
            output[j] = ranit(comma_array);
            break;
    default:    
            break;        
         }
     }


     for (i = 0; output[i] != 0; i++) {
         printf("%x\n", output[i]);
     }


It calls a function (ranit) that assigns a letter a random hex number from an array and it works fine. However, if I give this program the phrase 'cheese' you will noticed that '85f31aae' is displayed for every instance of the letter 'e':


Code:
$ ./test
Gimme something: cheese

a4d19a86
1ad33008
85f31aae
85f31aae
3927bca6
85f31aae

What I want is the function ranit() to be called again if a letter repeats. This way a repeating character does not get a repeating number. I tried making an additional outer loop, but the results did not change.

Again, had to post a code snippet due to length of code.

If anyone can help with me with the logic its greatly appreciated.

stream_notification_callback - A callback function for the notificationcontext parameter

SYNOPSIS
void stream_notification_callback (int $notification_code, int $severity, string $message, int $message_code, int $bytes_transferred, int $bytes_max) DESCRIPTION
A callable function, used by the notification context parameter, called during an event. Note This is not a real function, only a prototype of how the function should be. PARAMETERS
o $notification_code - One of the STREAM_NOTIFY_* notification constants. o $severity - One of the STREAM_NOTIFY_SEVERITY_* notification constants. o $message - Passed if a descriptive message is available for the event. o $message_code - Passed if a descriptive message code is available for the event. The meaning of this value is dependent on the specific wrapper in use. o $bytes_transferred - If applicable, the $bytes_transferred will be populated. o $bytes_max - If applicable, the $bytes_max will be populated. RETURN VALUES
No value is returned. EXAMPLES
Example #1 stream_notification_callback(3) example <?php function stream_notification_callback($notification_code, $severity, $message, $message_code, $bytes_transferred, $bytes_max) { switch($notification_code) { case STREAM_NOTIFY_RESOLVE: case STREAM_NOTIFY_AUTH_REQUIRED: case STREAM_NOTIFY_COMPLETED: case STREAM_NOTIFY_FAILURE: case STREAM_NOTIFY_AUTH_RESULT: var_dump($notification_code, $severity, $message, $message_code, $bytes_transferred, $bytes_max); /* Ignore */ break; case STREAM_NOTIFY_REDIRECTED: echo "Being redirected to: ", $message; break; case STREAM_NOTIFY_CONNECT: echo "Connected..."; break; case STREAM_NOTIFY_FILE_SIZE_IS: echo "Got the filesize: ", $bytes_max; break; case STREAM_NOTIFY_MIME_TYPE_IS: echo "Found the mime-type: ", $message; break; case STREAM_NOTIFY_PROGRESS: echo "Made some progress, downloaded ", $bytes_transferred, " so far"; break; } echo " "; } $ctx = stream_context_create(); stream_context_set_params($ctx, array("notification" => "stream_notification_callback")); file_get_contents("http://php.net/contact", false, $ctx); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Connected...
