Hi Yasuo 2016-10-20 9:18 GMT+02:00 Yasuo Ohgaki <yohgaki@ohgaki.net>: > "Do not make assumption for uniqid() output format, entropy > especially. uniqid() output format may be changed to provide > reasonably unique ID in future versions." Sounds reasonable to me; although I would phrase it a little differently, something along the lines of: The <function>uniquid</function> cannot be relied on to be unique and there can occur collisions, even with the <parameter>more_entrophy</parameter> set to &true;. As for the in future version, although we may do that, I don't think we should document something that is not in the core yet. What do you think? -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
