note 16755 added to function.mt-srand

Try this much simpler approach: list($usec,$sec)=explode(" ",microtime()); mt_srand($sec * $usec); This won't cause an overflow during the float-to-integer conversion. Of course, if you only need ONE random number just take $sec * $usec! Otherwise, call mt_srand just once at the start of your program. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-srand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16755 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16755 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16755
