Description:
------------
hi, following description is wrong:

int rand  ([ int $min  ], int $max  )

it should be:

int rand ([[int $min], int $max])

because all parameters are optional.

if there is only one given parameter, the function gets it as $max.
if there are two parameters given, the function gets the first as $min and the second as $max.

It looks correct to me in the english version of the manual; where are you seeing it like that? 

I can see it in the German translation, so I'll change the category to translation problem.

hi,

yes in the german documentation is the error.

and yes the english version is correct.

int rand  ( int $min  , int $max  )
is the correct description.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
