### crypt_random [line 60]
`Integer crypt_random( [optional $min = 0], [optional $max = 0x7FFFFFFF])`
Generate a random value. On 32-bit machines, the largest distance that can exist between $min and $max is 2**31. If $min and $max are farther apart than that then the last ($max - range) numbers. Depending on how this is being used, it may be worth while to write a replacement. For example, a PHP-based web app that stores its data in an SQL database can collect more entropy than this function can. #### Tags:
