note 18393 added to function.srand

It's pretty easy how he's getting a highly random number. Microtime measures the time since the Epoch (0:00:00 January 1, 1970 GMT). Microtime() returns a string of 2 parts, the current microsecond count, a space, and then the time since the Epoch. By using (double), he chops off the seconds-since-Epoch time, and uses the "current microsecond count" until the next second. Since time moves constantly, microseconds is the smallest unit a programming language makes use of, the current microseconds up until the next second will give you a million different numbers, every second. Now simply multiply the 0.xxxxxx number by 1,000,000 (like back in Jr. High School), and it will niftily place the 0.xxxxxx number in xxxxxx fashion for your seed. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18393 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18393 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18393
