From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Missing Example for mt_getrandmax Description: ------------ I want to propose an example for mt_getrandmax: Code: // calculate random floating point number function randomFloat($from = 0, $to = 1) { return $from + mt_rand() / mt_getrandmax() * $to; } echo randomFloat(0, 1); Sample Output: 0.32345942003814 As generating uniform random values in the mathematical sense is the only application I see for mt_getrandmax I think this should be included. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53207&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53207&r=mysqlcfg
