Everything is written on http://bugs.php.net/?id=26381. It seems that by some problem in processing php.ini is caused that "rand() without srand() doesn't work". It's most probably only side-effect of something wrong (like buffer-overflow). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-02 12:51:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What problem? How can we reproduce this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-02 11:18:28] spam at vrana dot cz Yes. The problem occurs also with CVS snapshot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-02 11:04:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-02 10:57:15] spam at vrana dot cz I can't believe myself, the problem is caused by something completely different. I discovered that the problem occurs only under this circumstances: 1. Lines in php.ini file ends by CRLF. 2. Windows Extensions part in php.ini is longer than 503 characters (including new-lines). I don't know what is it but it looks like buffer overflow or something like that. So the problem is probably in php-src/main/php_ini.c or somewhere near. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-02 10:22:37] nunoplopes at sapo dot pt This bug is solved! I have the latest windows snapshot on windows xp and cli returns a random value without the need to use srand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
