So you want real random numbers in PHP? rand & srand vs. mt_rand & mt_srand
If you are like me you probably once upon a time spotted that PHP had a random number generating function called rand(), decided to save it to your memory, and left it at that. After all, a random number is a random number. Why would a programming language need more than one random number generating function? Well, apparently the creators of PHP did once upon a time decide one random number generating function is not enough.
