note 25075 added to function.mt-srand

couldn't there be a mt_srand() call in a future release, which allows specifying NO parameter. In that case, it would use an entropy source appropriate for the platform on which PHP is compiled. If this cause problems, why not added a new API such as mt_srand_entropy(), that could be emulated partly on previous PHP versions, when missing, by using something like this: function mt_srand_entropy() { mt_srand(time() ^ (int)microtime() ^ ip2long($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ); } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-srand.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25075 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25075 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25075
