Bug description:  php.net/rand reads 'value', returns an integer

Description:
------------
php.net/rand reads:

"If called without the optional min, max arguments rand() returns a
pseudo-random value between 0 and RAND_MAX. If you want a random number
between 5 and 15 (inclusive), for example, use rand (5, 15)."

However, from "int rand ( [int min, int max])" and the example given, I'm
assuming that it does not give a *value*, but, more specifically, an
*integer*.  Perhaps the description should be changed.
