Hi,
I'm am brand new to PHP and I'm getting up to speed (slowly) running
through some example tutorials. But I am having trouble getting a For
Loop to work.
It is supposed to return the microscond from the server each time it
loops, but it is returning the same second each time through. I'm
assuming this is because "function make_seed()" is declared outside of
the loop, but I'm stuck on how to rectify this.
Below is my code, any help would be appreciated!
Kevin
------------------------------------------
<html>
<?
function make_seed()
{
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
srand(make_seed ());
$randvalue = rand(1,100);
?>
<ul>
<?
for ($i = 1; $i<10; $i++){ ?>
<li><strong>< ?= $randvalue ?></strong></li>
<?}?>
</ul>

Hi, Kevin,
It's always returning the same value because you're not calling
make_seed() in your for loop.
Try this:
<html>
<?
function make_seed()
{
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
?>
<ul>
<?
for ($i = 1; $i<10; $i++){
srand(make_seed ()); // Call from within loop
$randvalue = rand(1,100);
?>
<li><strong>< ?= $randvalue ?></strong></li>
<?}?>
</ul>
</html>

Jerry,
That was it, thanks for your help! I'm not sure why I didn't pick that
up. It's never good to try and learn with examples that are flawed!
Thanks again,

Hi!
I was recently asked what book to recommend for a beginner in C++. I
am convinced that you needn't study C in depth before learning C++
(though it helps), but cannot find any beginner's book which isn't
aimed at people coming from C/Pascal/Java/Delpi/whatever...
However, there seem to be plenty such books for all those other
languages. Is there really no literature for people trying to learn
programming by starting with C++? ...

Hi. I'm doing some speed optimization on my Visual C++ program. I'm using
timers throughout the program. I'm calling ftime() which works well, but
only returns current time to a millisecond accuracy. I've gotten to the
point where I now need even more precision in my timers.
Many unix platforms have a function gettimeofday() which has microsecond
accuracy, but this function is not available on Windows, apparently.

me with the following:

Also, how can I make the program verify there are two

Hi guys, am learning c as a beginner language and am finding it rough

better languages than c for a beginner? For instance visual basic or i
should just keep the confidence of improving?

hello i have this profile for iterating empty vectors:
+0.3us (microsecond) on intel pentium 2.4Ghz
can this added delay to my application be reduced?
i mean near zero delay, its very important.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
