Alex, thanks for the code to visualize randomness. The variable 'ink1' should actually be 'ink'. When I generated the picture on my server, I saw a random distribution. What this shows us is that randomness is not entirely controlled by the language, but by the underlying operating system or computer hardware. Some machines do a better job at generating random or pseudorandom number sequences than others. Your graphic shows how successful your computer is at this. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 12.34.39.161 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105075 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105075/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105075/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105075/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105075/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105075/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105075/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105075 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105075 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
