hi,all

i have a problem.

try this code on win2003,iis6,php5.1.1(isapi)

function _1_2($n) {
$tmp = array();
return shuffle($tmp = range(1,$n);
}
echo('<pre>'.print_r(_1_2(8),True).'</pre>');

result
Array
(
[0] => 6
[1] => 3
[2] => 7
[3] => 4
[4] => 8
[5] => 2
[6] => 1
[7] => 5
)

after,try code on FreeBSD6.0r apache2.0.55,php5.1.2(cli)
result is

Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => 5
[5] => 6
[6] => 7
[7] => 8
)

manual said [bool shuffle ( array &array )]

modify code

function _1_2($n) {
$tmp = array();
$tmp = range(1,$n);
return shuffle($tmp);
}

it looks good. why on win2003,iis6 result is correct too.
