note 82022 added to function.mt-rand

I'm sorry to say, "andrei at novanetworks dot ro"'s method seems higly unefficient to me. It's good if called few times only, but when most of the numbers have already been used, the function has to loop many times before finding an available option. When I know I need to call most of the numbers from a range, I create a list of the numbers in the range, get a random index from this list, then return and delete the item of the list at the picked index. More memory usage if called many times, but probably less computation time on average. ---- Server IP: 61.195.146.164 Probable Submitter: 58.159.15.76 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82022 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82022/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82022/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82022/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82022/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82022/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82022/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82022 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82022 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
