PHP List,
Based on what seemed to be good advice to switch to using mysqli for
interacting with a MySQL database, I built a content management system
that uses mysqli for all it's calls.
It works great on a lot of my servers. However, I just discovered that

Thank you for responding.
If it were entirely my web site to dictate what to do with, I would just
switch for a server that has mysqli available to me.
However, in this one case, the web site is owned by a small, not very

Dear list,
For some computer-based simulation, i need to
generate random numbers that have a normal distribution.
It seems that PHP's rand() and mt_rand() functions return
uniformly distributed numbers which is not suitable for
simulation purposes.
Is there any way to generate random numbers
True randomization is only really possible in nature, so I am not sure you
ever be completely happy with programming random numbers... But it may help
you get better results if you include srand() in your randomization code.

Hi Jim,
I have a server that listens like yours does. I get 80k - 85k
connections a day to it.
When I first started it, I was only getting about 3k of connections
aday. Then I upped the
listening pattern and it tanked. I noticed that all my mail/web/db
connections just sat there.

Curiously, would you agree with this guy's comments concerning low-

If you want a high speed socket server, use the low-level sockets
instead (socket_create/bind/listen). The stream_socket_server version
appears to have internal fixed
