From: adamm at nycap dot rr dot com Operating system: windows PHP version: 4.3.3 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: problem with rand()
Description: ------------ I am developing on a newly setup Windows XP Box running PHP 4.3.3 on IIS as CGI. The rand() function is not generating random numbers. Even with a min/max declared it will only once generate a number in that range... and than any other time called (even across browser sessions) it will always and forever generate the same number. The code below is broken down to the smallest example possible. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo rand(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see a random number. Actual result: -------------- The same number is always displayed. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25639&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25639&r=float
