Bug #51823 [NEW]: srand initialization seed

From: Operating system: ALL PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:srand initialization seed Description: ------------ The srand documentation is flase in french. In french the note since 4.2.0 says : "Note : Depuis PHP 4.2.0, vous n'avez plus besoin d'initialiser le générateur de nombres aléatoires avec srand() ou mt_srand() car c'est fait automatiquement." which meens that the function srand is useless 'cause it's done automaticly instead of saying that just the seed parameter is useless. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51823&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51823&r=mysqlcfg
