#19869 [NEW]: bug in array_rand

From: klashley@rtsg.uwi.tt Operating system: windows PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: bug in array_rand I've found a bug with array_rand in PHP 4.2.2; it works in earlier versions, however when tested in newer PHP versions the output never changes. eg. srand ((double)microtime()*1000000); $backgrounds = range (1,28); $rand_keys = array_rand ($backgrounds, 3); print $backgrounds[$rand_keys[0]]."~".$backgrounds[$rand_keys[1]]."~".$backgrounds[$rand_keys[2]]; This would always for me produce the same results for me whatever I try. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19869&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19869&r=isapi
