random number

[stuckwithcode]

Hello, what is the limit of mt rand if you specify no limits,

 

Thanks

This ought to tell you..

mt_getrandmax()

[stuckwithcode]

Where do I put this, at the top of my php page?

 

int mt_getrandmax  ( void  )

[Buddski]

if you just do this somewhere it will tell you the max number

 echo mt_getrandmax(); 

[stuckwithcode]

So this only tells me the maximum number possible and doesn't let me set it.  Also will this maximum be the same for everyone or does it change between php versions?

 

Thanks

[Buddski]

It doesnt let you set it, no. As for the number changing I would presume that it would change per system, but I would be just guessing..

Okay Thanks for the help.
