note 90215 added to function.srand

To generate a random number which is different every day, I used the number of days after unix epoch as a seed: <?php srand(floor(time() / (60*60*24))); echo rand() % 100; ?> My provider upgraded the php server recently, and calling srand(seed) does not seem to set the seed anymore. To let srand set the seed, add the following line to your .htaccess file php_value suhosin.srand.ignore 0 Kudos to doc_z (http://www.webmasterworld.com/php/3777515.htm) Harmen ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 81.210.179.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90215 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90215/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90215/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90215/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90215/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90215/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90215/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90215 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90215 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
