How do I replicate PHP's PRNG algorithm implementation in C#? -

i've created procedural image generator uses default pseudo-random number generator built in php5.

i can set seed mt_srand($id); , same numbers sequence (with mt_rand(0,255);).

---

what need:

a prng implementation work exact same way in php , c#

---

example:

php:

mt_srand(123); echo mt_rand(0,255); //returns 34 echo mt_rand(0,255); //returns 102 echo mt_rand(0,255); //returns 57 echo mt_rand(0,255); //returns 212 echo mt_rand(0,255); //returns 183 

c#:

setseed(123); print getrand(0,255); //returns 34 print getrand(0,255); //returns 102 print getrand(0,255); //returns 57 print getrand(0,255); //returns 212 print getrand(0,255); //returns 183 

( ^ function names not referring existing ones, named example's sake )

thanks tips!

i resolved problem implementing custom prng algorithm myself both in c# , php.

since needed , didn't have time go through whole mersenne twister theory , 2 languages incompatibilities (like different behaviors of types , operators...) decided write simple prng algorigthm:

c#

code:

using system;  public class ciaccorandom {     private static int tree=0;      public void plantseed(int seed)     {         tree = math.abs(seed) % 9999999+1;         getrand(0, 9999999);     }      public int getrand(int min, int max)     {         tree = (tree*125)%2796203;         return tree%(max-min+1)+min;     } } 

usage:

int seed = 123; int min = 0; int max = 255; ciaccorandom randomer = new ciaccorandom(); randomer.plantseed(seed); randomer.getrand(min, max); // returns pseudo-random int 

---

php

code:

namespace ciacco_twister; class ciaccorandom {   private static $tree = 0;    public static function plantseed($seed) {     self::$tree = abs(intval($seed)) % 9999999+1;     self::getrand();   }    public static function getrand($min = 0, $max = 9999999) {     self::$tree = (self::$tree * 125) % 2796203;     return self::$tree % ($max - $min + 1) + $min;   } } 

usage:

require_once "ciacco_twister.php"; use ciacco_twister\ciaccorandom; $seed = 123; $min = 0; $max = 255; ciaccorandom::seed($seed); ciaccorandom::getrand($min,$max); // returns pseudo-random int 

---

notes:

i needed prng that, given seed , int range return same sequence of int numbers both in php , c#.

it's pretty limited works purpose!

maybe useful else...
