Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-21 01:30:06] sniper@php.net This is another report about shuffle() problems. And using mt_rand() would (IMO) be a good solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-23 01:24:14] sthurrowgood@yahoo.com.au I know it is a known problem with the rand() implementation on some systems - so my question is: Why not implement the shuffle function in a way that does not stuff up on some systems e.g. use the mt_rand() function with its known randomness and known random implementation - and save everyone on Solaris systems (and possibly others) from having to write their own shuffle functions (which I have be forced to do). Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=10449&edit=1
