note 93474 added to function.crc32

You can use crc32 as pseudorandom generator. For example you want to make only one related link per page but you have several options. You could pregenerate random list like page1 => link1 page2 => link2 page3 => link1 or use crc32 to create randomness on the fly <? $links = array( 'http://blackjackdoc.com', 'http://roulettedoc.com', 'http://slotsdoc.com', ); $randomIndex = crc32(__FILE__) % count($links); $randomLink = $links[$randomIndex]; ?> And if you refresh the page $randomLink will remain the same. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 213.227.201.151 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crc32.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93474 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93474/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93474/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93474/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93474/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93474/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93474/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93474 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93474 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
