Bug #74530 [NEW]: Wrong note for rand()

From: olafvdspek at gmail dot com Operating system: * PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Wrong note for rand() Description: ------------ > Note: As of PHP 7.1.0, rand() uses the same random number generator as mt_rand(). To preserve backwards compatibility rand() allows min to be smaller than max as opposed to returning FALSE as mt_rand(). I assume it's supposed to say "allows min to be larger than max"..
