Howdy,
I've seen this topic posted once before, but without ever reaching a
conclusion. The earlier posting is at

The problem: rand(min, max) always returns min on some systems.
rand(), mt_rand, and mt_rand(min, max) all work fi

I'm using the latest php and the rand() function isn't working properly when
giving it any min and max arguments.
It does work without anything between the () but if I put a min and max,
then only the min value always gets chosen.
Is that a bug? Is that new?
I'm not using an old php version, and
I wrote a simple function to randomize the order of an array. In
pseudo-code, it looks like this :
def _array_rand (a) :
for i = 0 to len (a)
j = rand (len (a))
temp = a[i]
a[i] = a[j]
a[j] = temp
return(a)
Can anyone tell me if I'm missing the obvious here
Hi all,
I'm having a problem with the rand function. I use the function below:
function gen_short_primary_key_value( $maxlength = 5 )
{
$mt = split( ' ', microtime(), 2 );
$foo = (double) ($mt[0] + $mt[1]) * 1;
$md5 = strtoupper( md5( $foo ) );
for ( $j = 0; $j < $maxlength;
Hi there,
I am wondering if it is possible that this function tends to be more often
1. I do get 8 of 10 times 1.
srand((double)microtime()*100);
if (rand(0,1) == 1){
code...
it looks ok to me.
Thanx for any help,
Andy

Use two rand()'s.
$foo = rand(2);
if ($foo == 0)
rand(first_set);
else
rand(second_set);

Just do the obvious:

$num = ($rand>90) ? $rand+35 : $rand;

the min and max would work if I wanted the number between 33 and 146, but I
am wanting to specify two ranges, not just one.

Something to the effect of

do {

if ( $num > 90 && $num < 125 ) {
$num=0;
} else if ( $num > 146 || $num < 33 ) {

I am wanting to use rand() to generate a number between 33-90 OR 125-146.
Is there a way to do this? I don't want any numbers before 33 or between
91-124 or after 146. Could someone point me in the direction I need to look
to accomplish this.
Thanks,

All,
I remember a patch being committed to CVS a while back which auto-seeded
rand() if it hadn't been manually called already. Is this in PHP 4.1.1? If
so, does it also work for mt_rand()?
Thanks,

You need to seed the random number generator first.

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me why, when I run this
$number = rand (1,12);
The only number that ever appears is 5?
Not really a random number...

Hi April,
You need to plant seeds to reach this goal, it discusses this in manual
under rand() and mt_rand() so have a look here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php
Which links to and talks about srand :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php
A seedless rand()
quot;;
$highnum = "100";
random_number("config.inc.php", $lownum, $highnum);
}
?>

I have this scriptlet:
$items = 6;
$randnum = rand(1,$items);
echo $randnum . "";
Always, no matter how many times I hit refresh, it'll always return the
lowest possible value, in this case 1. If I have rand(4,$items), it returns
four.
So I tried mt_rand(), with this:
$items = 6;
$randnum = m
Did you seed your random number generator?
ie: srand ((double) microtime() * 100);
