ID: 9277 Updated by: derick Reported By: jukkaho@mail.student.oulu.fi Status: Closed Bug Type: Math related Assigned To: Comments: After an e-mail comversation, Jukka made it clear it is useful, so I commit a "fix" to the CVS Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-15 13:04:38] derick@php.net It's not a bug, it's clear that this was supposed not to work. And if you try rand (1,1) it wont work either. Another thing; I don't see why this would be usefull. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-15 07:43:35] jukkaho@mail.student.oulu.fi $value=rand(0,0); Gives "Warning: rand(): Invalid range: 0..0 in ..." while there is nothing wrong with it. Value shouldn't be invalid. I'm expecting a value of 0 with probability of 100% without any warnings or is this a feature? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
