some more information, the installed packages on the server:
php5-5.2.4 
php5-mysql-5.2.4 
php5-mysqli-5.2.4
php5-pcre-5.2.4
php5-session-5.2.4
php5-simplexml-5.2.4
php5-spl-5.2.4
apache-1.3.39 

This does clearly not include the posix extension. It must be installed
separately on systems using the ports system (/usr/ports/sysutils/php5-posix/).
The extension is not available at all for windows systems.

You are right about the optional argument in PHP5, which is obligated in PHP4.
However, as stated by one of the comments on the php documentation, an even
better implementation would be:

$USER_searchid = uniqid(md5(rand()), true);

Of course... the chance of getting a md5 collision is hypothetical, but better
safe as sorry.
