This function seems to have a problem with generating a random number if the min and max values are
the same. I tried it with rand(0, 0) just to see, and I received an invalid range error.
You'd think that it would just pick 0. This occurred when I was trying tp choose a random
value from an array by picking a random number from 0 to sizeof($array) - 1. The array only had one
element in it.
