[PHP-DEV] Rand - continue or not?

By special request: These are the pro's and contra's to the current proposal currently known with me. (see: http://www.A-Eskwadraat.nl/~jeroen/rand/ ) ###Pro's: * Hide seeding and such from the php-programmer * All randomness controllable, with clear syntax. * The choice-for-algorithm should NOT

Re: [PHP-DEV] Rand...

Jeroen: It would probably help the discussion a lot if you would sort through all of the comments on your page, decide which are valid and which are not, and then rewrite the proposal. I can't seem to follow which comments are being accepted and which are being discarded. -- PHP Develo

[PHP-DEV] Rand...

Hi all, There has been a bit of discussion about rand(). I really appreciate that, though I would have preferred if it was held BEFORE the changes I (tried to) make. Okay, back to business. By special request, as short as possible: (I assume you've read the latest proposal, if not, go to http:/

[PHP-DEV] Rand again

Hm, I notice there has been a huge discussion on php-dev, I think I'm going to read it first... My two previous mails were sent without having read the whole discussion. As I was tought, you shouldn't 'conclude' a discussion before everyone is heard, and I wasn't able to read and/or reply to news

Re: [PHP-DEV] Rand Changes

Ok, We're now in a situation that has to be resolved. I think there are 3 issues: - The way php-dev behaved was flawed. While there's truth in what Sterling said about opensource projects, I have to say that the amount Jeroen put into the RFC about the subject is not very common. Thus, I ca

I am really furious now, and this is why: * People here seem to read things here VERY selectively. On August 4th I submitted a first proposal, and Rasmus (and ONLY Rasmus) had some problems with it, being that this would break BC if ppl rely on the reproducibilty of rand() sequences. THAT WAS THE

[PHP-DEV] Rand Changes

[PHP-DEV] rand()-redesign - please read
