[PHP3] strange problem with rand() From: Hans Westerbeek (hw <email protected>)
Date: 01/31/99

hi all,

I am using PHP on FreeBSD (i am a Pair networks client)
and i have a strange problem, look at this:

$images = array("batman","indian","mermaid");
/* images array made shorter, doesn't seem to make a difference to me */
$count = count($images);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000); //seeding the random generator
$i=rand(0,$count); //picking a value between 0 and the length of $images 

----

After this I just do something like:
<img src="<? print $images[i]; ?>.gif"

After this a random image from the array should appear. But all i get is 
HUGE values for $i like 1543769270 or 470447945 (i know this because
I print $i in my php3 file)... Anybody know
what's going on?

Byebye,
Hans
