Have you tested this case? rand() will return fixed values not random values. but mt_rand() works this is not what user expected. <?php $array = array_fill(0, 1000, 'a'); function ref(&$data = false) { global $array; $data = &$array; $a = randArray($data); } function randArray($data) { global $array; //may be wrong here $array[] = array_rand($array, 1); return $data[rand(0, sizeof($data) - 1)]; } $i = 1000; while ($i--) ref(); //echo mt_rand(0 , 10000); //echo "\n"; echo $array[rand(0, sizeof($array) - 1)]; ?>
