IMO, improving it (generate better semi-unique ID) is not important enoungh to introduce unnecessary BC break. (Why returning string length is changed?) If good unique ID generator is needed in core, please create new function with another name like "unique_id". -- Kazuo Oishi -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
