Description:
------------
The other day I wrote a PHP implementation of a spec which mandates
using a cryptographically-secure random number generator. For most Unix
systems this is easy (/dev/urandom or /dev/random), but getting access
to such a source in PHP for Windows seems impossible.
I thought it might be beneficial for PHP to expose the best source of
randomness availble via fopen("php://random") or some such. I confess I
don't know how difficult this would be to do, but it would certainly be
more feasible for PHP itself to pull this off in a cross-platform
fashion than for little old me writing software from within PHP.
