is_nan
Be warned, the function provided by mr dot joebert at gmail dot com has a serious tendency to return $min more often than anything else, especially when $min and $max are close. It also will never return $max if $min is negative. rok kralj gmail com's implementation does not have this problem, as it operates on the difference between $max and $min instead of $max itself.

An elegant way to return random float between two numbers:
<?php
function random_float ($min,$max) {
return ($min+lcg_value()*(abs($max-$min)));
}
?>
