the seed is optional and php generates a 'good' one. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-03-18 16:25:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the user notes for srand(), [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: >*ALWAYS* use (double)microtime()*1000000 as your seed. >Do *NOT* just use time(). Do not add an extra 0 to make it "bigger". ... >Anything else is sub-standard. If so, why not make the seed argument optional, and make the default (double)microtime()*1000000 when the argument is absent? Save me a few keystrokes, anyway, and help make sure people don't do it in a "sub-standard" fashion... :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=9823&edit=1
