PHP version: 4.3.4
PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash
Bug description: array_rand() not random
Description:
------------
$array[array_rand($array)] is always the same element of the array.
The server uses php.ini-recommended for the configuration.
(In PHP 4.3.2, this problem is non-existant. PHP 4.3.4 has this bug)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$random_sayings = array('Hey, this is not','randomly chosen','elements
from an array');
echo($random_sayings[array_rand($random_sayings)]);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Either one of the 3 elements of the array.
Actual result:
--------------
The same element no matter how many times the user refreshes.
