title: PHP - Pseudo Random Number Generator?
body: <p>Over the past couple of days, I've been trying to find a good way to generate random numbers in PHP, based on a seed. Like I'm sure most of you already know, the php rand() method is way too random for some cases, and I really need a PRNG that lets me generate the same sequence numbers over and over again based on a seed.</p>
  
  <p>I've already attempted using the XORShift PRNG, the problem comes as different operating systems seem to generate different answers beause of how PHP handles Bit-shifting.</p>
  
  <p>I would need some sort of algorithm that works well with PHP, that is able to generate quite large numbers, as I'll put a zero in front of it anyway and turn it into a small double. (0.RAND)</p>
