Just got my host to recompile PHP and now it's working and I can't
reproduce the error.

Seems like it was just a quirk of a build. Sorry for bothering you all
:)

When I try and use RAND() to produce a random number, I only ever get
back the lowest whole integer.

e.g.
<?
echo rand(0,9);
?>

This will ALWAYS echo the number '0'.

I am willing to accept this may be a quirk in my system, but for the
life of me I have no pointers as to where :)
