To alex at khimic: I ran you example on Debian (the latest stable version as of today) and both rand() and mt_rand() produced random noise (that looked like what a TV shows when no TV channel is being received). The bottom line is, rand() is not broken on all platforms and in all environments. You should test it. Thanks for the test. It's really interesting and helpful. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 62.24.72.218 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105048 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105048/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105048/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105048/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105048/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105048/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105048/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105048 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105048 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
