Here is a better bcrand() version. It uses the standart mt_rand() funktion and should work on other systems then unix ;-) <?php /** * BCrand - Generates very big random numbers. * string bcrand([mixed $min], mixed $max); */ function bcrand($min, $max=false) { if(!$max) { $max = $min; $min = 0; } return bcadd( bcmul( bcdiv( mt_rand(0, mt_getrandmax()), mt_getrandmax(), strlen($max) ), bcsub( bcadd($max,1), $min ) ), $min ); } echo bcrand("0", "9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999"); ?> Hope i could help someone :-) ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 92.193.14.76 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.bc.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84734 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84734/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84734/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84734/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84734/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84734/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84734/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84734 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84734 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
