This is the line in question: php_srand(time(0) * getpid() * (php_combined_lcg() * 10000.0)); This is now (in my patch) in RINIT and thus it is a different pid it doesn't matter if the RINIT happens the same second.. Or did I misunderstood something? And I know it works now. :) And it didn't work before. As the PID was always the same like Andi said. I attached the patch in case you missed it before.. --Jani On Sun, 29 Apr 2001, Zeev Suraski wrote: >Since it only occurs on the first time, chances are that (on a reasonably >loaded web site), most rinits will happen at the same second. > >Zeev > >At 15:54 29/4/2001, Andi Gutmans wrote: >>At 02:50 PM 4/29/2001 +0300, Zeev Suraski wrote: >>>So it's probably not a lot more random than it was before... >> >>I think it is because the time of the rinit()'s are different now (unless >>some of them run at exactly the same time). >> >>Andi >> >> >>>Zeev >>> >>>At 15:44 29/4/2001, Andi Gutmans wrote: >>>>At 02:35 PM 4/29/2001 +0300, Zeev Suraski wrote: >>>>>At 15:27 29/4/2001, Andi Gutmans wrote: >>>>>>Jani has already moved it to RINIT which is a good beginning. >>>>> >>>>>It may be a good beginning functionality wise, but it might not be a >>>>>very good beginning performance-wise.
