To Alex at Khim:
I ran your gfx test on PHP 2.6.26-26lenny3 in Debian 4.1.2-25 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.
