#26381 [Fbk->Opn]: rand() without srand() doesn't work with certain php.ini

ID: 26381 User updated by: spam at vrana dot cz Reported By: spam at vrana dot cz -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4CVS-2003-12-2 New Comment: I really don't know which additional information you need. Can you tell me? I described the wrong behaviour on 24 Nov 8:21am EST. I found that the wrong behaviour is most probably bounded with processing of php.ini and described it on 2 Dec 10:57am EST. I tested everything on CVS snapshot on 25 Nov 4:53am EST and on 2 Dec 11:18am EST with the same result. I want to give you all information which you need to fix this bug but I don't know about anything what wasn't already written here.

It seems that by some problem in processing php.ini is caused that "rand() without srand() doesn't work". It's most probably only side-effect of something wrong (like buffer-overflow). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-02 12:51:13] sniper@php.net What problem?
