note 92801 added to function.rand

The examples for solutions here are great and there have been some brilliant eye openers. It must be clarified however, that the term "one-liner" means that the solution can be acheived in one line of PHP code that does NOT require the use of a call to a manually created function, OR any additional calculations or $variables inside the line. Obviously, anyone can say "one liner solution" if they are just calling a function that then has 200 lines in it, or just stuffing all their code on one line without proper line breaks. The whole point of saying one-liner is to say that the solution can be achieved using a short hand method and built in php functions, AND does not require the use of any other additional function calls or calculations. Example : Hugo Scott just said he has a long version and a "one liner" version. There is absolutely no difference in both of his versions because both of them still only need a single call to one of those functions. What's in the function is completely irrelevant, whether it be one line or 3. I hope that starts to make sense to people before we continue on this "I've got a one liner" solutions when they aren't. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 89.242.2.107 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92801 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92801/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92801/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92801/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92801/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92801/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92801/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92801 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92801 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
