rand() semantics

Hey The other day rand() bugged at me cause I gave it to parameters namely 0 and 0. It seems that 0..0 is not a valid range. Why not? It makes perfectly good sense mathematically and logically. This results in horrible code like this: $rows=mysql_numrows($res); if ($rows>1) $pick=mt_rand(0,$rows-1); else $pick=0; Which is just plain silly IMHO. Being what I would call a religious programmer it is not an option to set my warning level higher or introduce @'s. This should not give a warning at all IMO.
