Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php uniqid() is meant to give you a certrain id distribuion that is not predicable. That is uniqid() must neither generate two identical ids nor have a constant or in any way predictable difference between two calls. To ensure this we use usleep() internally to either force a thread (windows) or process (*nix) switch. On some systems the operating system has a slow implementation of this. However distrubition this much more important than the security risks implied.
