How many numbers are you likely to need?

I know, but I *want* to seed it. My goal is to have a fixed
pseudorandom sequence for each integer (seed) and I don't want those
sequences to change regarding PHP version.

Keep in mind (if you're not already) that mt_rand() doesn't
technically need to be seeded.

I wonder whether I can rely on the stability of mt_srand() and
mt_rand(). I want them to generate the same sequence for a fixed seed,
regardless of PHP version. Do you think I can trust it?

Maybe I'm wrong on this but mt_rand doesn't seem to be random enough.
I'm on a PHP 4.04 server and here's my code..
function make_seed() {
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 10);
}
mt_srand(make_seed());
$randval = mt_rand();
I pul
Is there a way to seed the mt_rand function with numbers and letters to
generate a good password of say 6-10 characters?
Thanks
