I am trying to convert this as3 code to php but its not working correctly. I need it like the as3 one generating thanks!
PHP:
print(floor(rand() * 1000) + 3000);
Result:28240000
AS3:
var intCID = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 3000;
var strSessionId = String(intCID);
trace(strSessionId);
Result:3330
You are calling rand() without argument, and according to docs:
if called without the optional min, max arguments rand() returns a pseudo-random integer between 0 and getrandmax()
so you should use this instead :
rand(0,1000)
PHP's rand() function gives you a random integer value, not a float (decimal) value. Therefore you get this real big value if you do * 1000
Be sure to check the PHP manual's rand() function. You will see that you can set the min and max value for generated random numbers, like rand(1, 1000)
Hope this help generating your intended values.
Description
int rand ( void )
int rand ( int $min , int $max )
If called without the optional min, max arguments rand() returns a pseudo-random integer between 0 and getrandmax(). If you want a random number between 5 and 15 >(inclusive), for example, use rand(5, 15).
Source: http://php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php
Use: rand(0,1) to get the same result
Your AS3 code generate a random number between 3000 and 4000 so the equivalent in PHP would be :
$rand = rand(3000, 4000);
In PHP, rand() returns a value from 0 to getRandMax() which is often 32767, and is integer, so the call to PHP rand() should be emulated as this AS3 code:
Math.floor(Math.random()*32768) // returns 0..32767 as integer
The PHP code rand($min,$max) is emulated by the following:
Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+max-min))+min
But, by all means do NOT expect that both PHP and AS3 code will return the exact same value.
