PHP script dies after while loop

[majortopio]

So I have this while loop in a function that is called in the middle of a page:

            while(count($showarray) <= $show_link){
                $randindex = rand(0, count($newlinks));
                if(!in_array($newlinks[$randindex], $showarray) && $newlinks[$randindex] != "") {
                    $showarray[$showindex] = $newlinks[$randindex];
                    //print_r($showarray);
                    $showindex++;
                }
            }

The funny thing is: it works for one page (it's used to list randomly generated links depending on which ID is taken from the URL) - that is, where ID = 1, but on all other pages, it just kills the script and nothing after it is outputted. I would really appreciate any help on figuring this out.
