Here's something to test properly:
\n" :
"\n";
print("$string$nl");
}
$bricks = (isset($argv[1])) ? $argv[1] : 1;
if($bricks==1) $tempArrValue=450;
if($bricks==2) $tempArrValue=800;
if($bricks==3) $tempArrValue=1152;
$brickArray = array();
for($i=1;$i<=$tempArrValue;$i++){
$brickArray[$i]=$i;
}
srand ((float) microtime() * 1000);
$brickArray2 = array_rand($brickArray, sizeof($brickArray));
for($i=0;$i {$brickArray2[$i]}");
}
?>
I can't reproduce it - in fact, the following quick-hack-shell-tester
doesn't yield any output:
#!/bin/ksh
typeset -i COUNTER=1
while [ $COUNTER -lt 100 ]; do
./test_array_rand.php 3 | awk '{print $3}' | sort | perl -n -e
'print if $_ eq $previous; $previous=$_'
COUNTER=`expr ${COUNTER} + 1`
done
You should probably look at the query, rather than at rand. But then
again - if the above yields output, report back.

I will test the snapshot this weekend, I have no access to a test
machine earlier
Ps, array_rand($brickArray, sizeof($brickArray)-3);
should be array_rand($brickArray, sizeof($brickArray));,
the error occur with both! Ds

I use array_rand() to randomize an array that can have three different
sizes, 450, 800 and 1152. With 450 array_rand works great. But when I
try to select 800 and 1152 indexes with array_rand(), array_rand seems
to seed higher number. I everycase I always get the 25 last indexes
picked! Pretty weird! It seems to favor the last number!
I have tried:
srand ((float) microtime() * 1000);
srand ((float) microtime() * 100);
But that didn't helped:
Here's my code:
if($bricks==1) $tempArrValue=450;
if($bricks==2) $tempArrValue=800;
if($bricks==3) $tempArrValue=1152;
$brickArray = array();
for($i=1;$i<=$tempArrValue;$i++){
$brickArray[$i]=$i;
}
srand ((float) microtime() * 1000);
$brickArray2 = array_rand($brickArray, sizeof($brickArray)-3);
for($i=0;$ihttp://bugs.php.net/?id=20793&edit=1
