It should also be noted that 'mt_rand' function is NOT cryptographically secure. This means, among other things, that you cannot depend on it to generate data that is expected to be unpredictable, i.e. truly random. Depending on circumstances, a third person using 'mt_rand' will be able to generate the exact random number (or series of them) you have, which may break your security system. ---- Server IP: 85.19.212.230 Probable Submitter: 217.14.5.207 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96060 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96060/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96060/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96060/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96060/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96060/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96060/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96060 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96060 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
