Bug #16926: Shuffle doesn't work

From: joseppo@hotmail.com Operating system: WinXP PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: *Math Functions Bug description: Shuffle doesn't work As of PHP 4.2.0, shuffle() doesn't seem to work for me. The following code always produce the same output: function make_seed() { // Taken directly from the manual list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime()); return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000); } srand(make_seed()); $arr = range(1, 10); shuffle($arr); print_r($arr); Further testing shows that I get the same output if I uncomment the srand(), if that's any help. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16926&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16926&r=submittedtwice
