This function really generates randow string. One can check it using this: <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); $img = imagecreatetruecolor(500,500); $ink = imagecolorallocate($img,255,255,255); for($i=0;$i<500;$i++) { for($j=0;$j<500;$j++) { imagesetpixel($img, mt_rand(1,500), mt_rand(1,500), $ink); } } imagepng($img); imagedestroy($img); ?> This generates 500x500 image with pixel noise. If you switch mt_rand(1,500) to rand(1,500) you will NOT get pixel noise. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 46.227.136.226 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103042 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103042/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103042/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103042/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103042/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103042/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103042/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103042 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103042 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
