Thanks for the report. Could you please point to the place where that deprecated APIs are used in 7.3? AFAIR php_get_random_bytes was moved to bcrypt at least in 7.2.

Thanks.

I have not studied the sources just the official docs at http://php.net/random_int. The page states:

The sources of randomness used for this function are as follows: 
On Windows, CryptGenRandom() will always be used.

Confirmed, the new API is used as of 7.2, see http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=UPGRADING.INTERNALS;hb=refs/heads/PHP-7.2#l30. Thus, turning into doc issue.

Thanks.

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.
