note 62535 added to function.srand

I personally think that srand() doesn't make a lot of sense... Why is this not good as srand() (used rand() ) <? die(); //random message $line = array(); // catch stuff $line[] = "Message one"; $line[] = "Message two"; $line[] = "Message three"; $line[] = "Message four"; $line[] = "Message five"; $line[] = "Message six"; $num = count($line) - 1; $random = rand(0,$num); // <<<< you see?? $oneliner = $line[$random]; //this is the thing to be echoed echo "<p>$oneliner</p>"; /* CSC 2006 Led by Nino, written by Nino http://www.clan-csc.com */ ?> ---- Server IP: 161.53.30.180 Probable Submitter: 193.198.149.193 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.3 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62535 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62535/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62535/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62535/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62535/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62535/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62535/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62535 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62535 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
