Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65501&edit=1 ID: 65501 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported by: yohgaki@php.net Summary: uniqid(): More entropy parameter should be true by default Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: any PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: yohgaki Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I think uniqid() should have "more entropy" parameter first place. Since we have it, we should provide better default. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-22 10:51:57] yohgaki@php.net Description: ------------ uniqid()'s 2nd parameter(more entropy) is optional and false by default. http://jp1.php.net/uniqid Without more entropy, uniqid() may produce non unique id even if the name states it. This could be security issue under certain cases. Making it true by default would not break any apps, therefore it should be true by default. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65501&edit=1
