I know it is a known problem with the rand() implementation on some systems - so my question is: Why not implement the shuffle function in a way that does not stuff up on some systems e.g. use the mt_rand() function with its known randomness and known random implementation - and save everyone on Solaris systems (and possibly others) from having to write their own shuffle functions (which I have be forced to do).

Thanks.

This is another report about shuffle() problems.
And using mt_rand() would (IMO) be a good solution.

Is this still a issue?
Reporter, could you update php version if you have problem with 4.1.1, or close this bug if you have problem.
Thank you.
