note 81379 added to function.rand

Using the script below with rand() instead of mt_rand(), I was suprised to find many "words" and part of "phrases" in common. mt_rand() is highly recomanded when you want to build test cases. $ressbdd = mysql_connect("localhost", "usr", "pass") or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error()); for($i=0;$i<100000;$i++){ $xx1=mt_rand(15,80); $texte = phrase($xx1); $sql = 'INSERT into phrases.valeurs set valeur = \'' . $texte . '\''; mysql_query( $sql , $ressbdd ); } //============================================= function phrase($n){ $phrase=''; for($i=0;$i<$n;$i++){ $xx2=mt_rand(2,20); $phrase.=mot($xx2) . ' '; } return(substr($phrase,0,-1).'.'); // phrase ends with a . } //============================================= function mot($n){ if($n<=0) return 'hello'; if($n>=31) return 'world'; $voyelle =Array('a','e','i','o','u','y'); $consonne=Array( 'b','c','d','f','g','h','j','k','l','m', 'n','p','q','r','s','t','v','w','x','z'); $mot=''; for($i=0;$i<$n;$i++){ if($i%2==0){ $xx3=mt_rand(0,19); $mot.=$consonne[$xx3]; }else{ $xx4=mt_rand(0,5); $mot.=$voyelle[$xx4]; } } return $mot; } ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 84.97.242.23 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81379 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81379/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81379/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81379/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81379/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81379/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81379/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81379 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81379 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
