Ok, so calling srand a second time based on a value that is likely to be similar to the first one is a bad idea, but what about always calling it as: srand(microtime() * rand(10000, 2000000)) If we've been called previously, the seed will be based on a presumably random value... Can anyone who knows what they're talking about make any comment? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24562 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24562 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24562
