note 62542 added to function.rand

I think what jeswanth was shooting for was something like: php -n -r ' //<?php $chars = 3; $length= 6; while(count($nums) < $chars) $nums[rand(0,9)] = null; while(strlen($code) < $length) $code .= array_rand($nums); echo "\ncode: $code\n\n"; //?> ' (No need to create a file. Just paste that in a terminal to test.) with $chars = 3 you get codes like: 007277 429942 340343 with $chars = 2 you get codes like: 424244 666161 112122 Now I just have to come up with a use for it! ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 63.172.193.57 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62542 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62542/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62542/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62542/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62542/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62542/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62542/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62542 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62542 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
