The other possibility is to use a static variable and function. The
example below is PHP5 code -- I have no idea if it's possible to translate
it to PHP4.

class Test
{
public static $probability = 0.234321;

public static function call()
{
$x = self::$probability * 1000000;
$r = rand(0, 1000000);
return ($r<$x);
}
}

// Using the function
$truth = Test::call();

// Retrieving the "attribute"
$prob = Test::$probability;
