Re: [PHP-DOC] Bug #12550 Updated: rand() and mt_rand() don't behave as documented From: Jani Taskinen (sniper <email protected>)
Date: 08/13/01

Now you assume that you need to pass arguments to these functions.
Which is not the case. Here's the proto:

/* {{{ proto int rand([int min, int max])
   Returns a random number */

So revert that patch. mt_rand() / rand() accecpt either 2 parameters or
none at all. It was at least LESS wrong before. Now it's totally wrong.

--Jani

p.s. Egon, you still haven't explained me why my patch was wrong?
