Now you assume that you need to pass arguments to these functions. Which is not the case. Here's the proto: /* {{{ proto int rand([int min, int max]) Returns a random number */ So revert that patch. mt_rand() / rand() accecpt either 2 parameters or none at all. It was at least LESS wrong before. Now it's totally wrong. --Jani p.s. Egon, you still haven't explained me why my patch was wrong?
