Maybe I'm wrong on this but mt_rand doesn't seem to be random enough.
I'm on a PHP 4.04 server and here's my code..
 
function make_seed() {
    list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
    return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
mt_srand(make_seed());
$randval = mt_rand();
 
I pulled this directly from php.net and am using it in my script.  
 
Am I doing anything wrong here?  It's "sorta" random but I can't believe
it's totally random.
 
Your thoughts.?
