From: Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:more-entropy parameter description Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.uniqid#refsect1-function.uniqid-parameters --- For the 'more-entropy' parameter, the explanation is: "If set to TRUE, uniqid() will add additional entropy (using the combined linear congruential generator) at the end of the return value, which should make the results more unique." My report is just a quibble with the use of term 'more unique'. Something is unique or it isn't. Something can't be "more unique." It's like "almost pregnant"--you are or you aren't--there's no in between. I suggest the following: "If set to TRUE, uniqid() adds additional entropy (using the combined linear congruential generator) at the end of the return value, which increases the likelihood that the result is unique." Test script: --------------- Not applicable. Expected result: ---------------- Not applicable. Actual result: -------------- Not applicable. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61420&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61420&r=mysqlcfg
