note 16513 added to function.srand

srand() is pretty tricky to get right. You should never seed a random number generator more than once per php process, if you do, your randomness is limited to the source of your seed. The microtime function's micro-seconds portion has a very finite resolution, that is why the make_seed function was added to the document. You should never get the same seed twice. In the later CVS versions, PHP will seed the random generator prior to performing a rand() if srand() was not previously called. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16513 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16513 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16513
