Description:
------------
My web host just upgraded to 4.3.4 from the previous most recent version, and now my shuffle script does not work properly.  It acts as though the seed generator is no longer a part of the function call.  I have been using it to output information from a mysql database.  The output from the shuffle is always the same, though it isn't in the order of the mysql table.

Please post a (short) script that will re-create the problem.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

Please try a snapshot first, afaik this is already fixed.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

This is already fixed.
