reproducible random number series

Question

How can i get a series of reproducible pseudorandom numbers in PHP?

In older versions of PHP i could do that just by using the same seed in the RNG, but it does not work

Answer 1

This is not best one but it is a work one

function ranseed($min, $max, $seed) {
    return round($min + (hexdec(md5($seed)) / hexdec("FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF")) * ($max - $min));
}
