Hey,

The logic is now merged in the branch shuffle-seeds so if you wouldn't mind testing it that would be great. Once it seems good i'll merge it into develop and php7.

I made some modifications to your pull request but not too much:

• I made the seed shuffling it's own function as it keeps init_cluster_seeds focused on just that task.
• Modified the logic of the shuffle & pick itself.

The way you randomized the seeds was to create an array from 0-N and then make it random. Then, once in the loop did this:

if (zend_hash_index_find(ht_seeds, seeds[i], (void**)&z_seed) != SUCCESS)  {
    continue;
}

The issue with that is that this is PHP, so the user could happily pass us:

$arr_seeds = ['myFancyServer' => $fancy_host, 'otherthing' => $other_host];

So all I did is change the logic such that I extract everything in the seeds array then use the same strategy you did, only operating on the extracted data, rather than the hash table itself.

Thanks again for your help!

Mike
