However, this value will be passed to php_mt_srand() which expects an unsigned integer, so negative values will overflow, what doesn't appear to be a particular issue in this case.

What should be the "value" ? A (int) or a (float) ? It will be great if the 3 sections "description", "parameters" and "examples" were coherent Best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72830&edit=1
