mt_srand -- Seed the better random number generator

Description

void mt_srand ( int seed)

Seeds the random number generator with seed.

// seed with microseconds
function make_seed() {
    list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
    return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
mt_srand(make_seed());
$randval = mt_rand();

Note: Since PHP 4.2.0 it's no longer necessary to seed the random number generator before using it.
