Re: rand() function not working right

I can confirm that the funtion works fine using php 4.3.0. on Mac OS X. While this may not be of any help, I will test on a later install on a test server. Thanks, John At 4:15 PM +1000 8/31/03, john wrote:

I'm using the latest php and the rand() function isn't working properly

when

giving it any min and max arguments. It does work without anything between the () but if I put a min and max, then only the min value always gets chosen. Is that a bug? Is that new? I'm not using an old php version, and it makes no difference to seed or

not.

I've switched to mt_rand() and it seems to work fine with min/max so far.. -- Didier Godefroy mailto:dg@ulysium.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
