<p>Announcing my new library, a polyfill for the new sexy <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ext-random</span></code> from PHP 8.2 <a class="reference external" href="https://sandfox.me/php/php-82-early-look.html">that I mentioned a couple of posts ago.</a> It requires PHP 7.1+ and the GMP extension.</p> <p>There will be some limitations with the compatibility but it's already usable for most simple use cases. Grab it here: <a class="reference external" href="https://sandfox.dev/php/random-polyfill.html">https://sandfox.dev/php/random-polyfill.html</a></p> <p>Many thanks to <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/zeriyoshi">Go Kudo</a> for his work on the original extension.</p>
