From: a0 at hush dot com Operating system: solaris 8 PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Math related Bug description: rand function with range always returns low value of range
Description: ------------ when using the rand function with php 4.3.2 on solaris 8, it will return a random value as expected if no range is specified. if a range is specified it will always return the low value of the range. i'm building the module with -DZTS, and it is being loaded into IWS4.1. i've modified the code so it works by changing line 36 of php_rand.h from #if HAVE_LRAND48 to #if (HAVE_LRAND48 && !sun) so PHP_RAND_MAX will get a value of RAND_MAX. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $r = rand(); echo "$r\n"; $r = rand(0, 100); echo "$r\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 24384 0 (it will always return 0) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24909&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24909&r=gnused
