note 47215 added to function.uniqid

"Therefore, the chance of finding 2 matching hashes increases with every hash generated. Taking into account that md5 has been around for 12 years, we may already have passed the magic number." I think instead of 'finding', which implies recognition, you mean 'generating', don't you? And what practical difference would it make? It seems intuitively likely that at least 2 people somewhere in the world over the past 12 years have already got back exactly the same hash because of what they fed in to be digested. But so what? It's only meaningful if the two hashes collide in some way, really. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47215 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47215&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47215&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47215&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47215&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47215&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47215&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47215&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
