Not many folks run Solaris boxen as their home machines, can't imagine why...;) Without ZTS: # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo getrandmax(),"\n";' 2147483647 # sapi/cli/php -r 'srand(); echo rand(0,100),"\n";' 32 # sapi/cli/php -r 'srand(); echo rand(0,100),"\n";' 5 # # sapi/cli/php -r 'srand(); echo rand(0,100),"\n";' 22 With ZTS: # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo getrandmax(),"\n";' 2147483647 # sapi/cli/php -r 'srand(); echo rand(0,100),"\n";' 0 # sapi/cli/php -r 'srand(); echo rand(0,100),"\n";' 0 # sapi/cli/php -r 'srand(); echo rand(0,100),"\n";' 0 The value returned by getrandmax() is definitely not what's being used by rand() with ZTS enabled. Calling rand() approx. 150 times and sending the output to a file, the highest value I get is 32481. This leads me to believe that despite what's being returned by getrandmax(), it's using 32768 as its max in operation. mt_rand() works as expected with ZTS enabled, both with and without ranges specified: # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo mt_rand(),"\n";' 1128343079 # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo mt_rand(),"\n";' 1820256748 # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo mt_rand(0,100),"\n";' 68 # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo mt_rand(0,100),"\n";' 83 # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo mt_rand(0,100),"\n";' 54 mt_getrandmax() returns the same result as getrandmax() (but, as shown above, appears to actually use it). # sapi/cli/php -r 'echo mt_getrandmax(),"\n";' 2147483647 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-18 09:36:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, what does this output (in zts and in non-zts mode): # sapi/cli/php 'echo getrandmax();' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-18 09:35:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Try adding 'srand();' call there: # sapi/cli/php -r 'srand(); echo rand(0,100),"\n";' Does this work better?
