Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-24 18:41:05] trhaynes at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ php.net/rand reads: "If called without the optional min, max arguments rand() returns a pseudo-random value between 0 and RAND_MAX. If you want a random number between 5 and 15 (inclusive), for example, use rand (5, 15)." However, from "int rand ( [int min, int max])" and the example given, I'm assuming that it does not give a *value*, but, more specifically, an *integer*. Perhaps the description should be changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27032&edit=1
