Will do that once I get a newer PHP version. No time for it right now. :-)
The workaround to rand() I did was to use it twice and add up the result. For ex. --snip-- $randomNumberLeft = rand(0,99999); $randomNumberRight = rand(0,99999); $randomNumber = $randomNumberLeft.$randomNumberRight; echo $randomNumber. --snip-- "Jay Blanchard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [snip] It is not there, so I added it and restarted Apache. Still got the same result. How is PHP is built into Apache was done by downloading the tar.gz file from php.net and compile it. Then compile Apache, had it take in PHP. So, when it was done, there is never a php.ini there. So, I create one and add some of hte coding into php.ini file. This is for the Unix machine. The only scripting I have in php.ini so far is ... [/snip] You should have 2 or 3 php.ini files....usually php.ini-dist php.ini-optimized php.ini-recommended (from the command line 'locate php.ini') You pick the one that you want to use and copy it into /etc/apache while renaming it php.ini. My current php.ini file is comprised of 775 lines of information and directives. As I understand it the .ini is not required, and probaly is not affecting the rand on your machine. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
