On a punbb forum on windows where mt_rand(1, 2147483647) is called probably a couple of hundred times an hour (for inserting into a search cache), we're getting the exact same value returned _several_ times an hour. I don't know what the root cause here is, if it's windows or whatever, but I suggest NOT relying on this function for anything security related. ---- Server IP: 213.249.64.162 Probable Submitter: 86.87.68.167 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80485 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80485/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80485/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80485/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80485/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80485/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80485/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80485 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80485 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
