In PHP 7.0 we introduced random_bytes() which wraps Linux's getrandom(2) as well as Windows's CryptGenRandom() and uses /dev/urandom as a fallback.
I think it would be great if we added a function that wraps /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid [2] and, if that exists, its equivalent on Windows to make the generation of UUIDs easy. Thoughts? -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
