[PHP-DEV] RFC: uniqid default param
Hi, the current implementation of uniqid set the more entropy default true for CYGWIN and false for the rest. CYGWIN must use more entropy because it does not produce new values after usleep(1) necessarily. However usleep(1) should nowadays be very slow compared to whatever php_combined_lcg() needs to do. Shall more entropy be always true? marcus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No, some users might depend on the return format (think of database entries). - Sascha -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
