PHP: generate a random number

<?php // Generate a random integer between 0 and getrandmax() $randomNum = rand(); // Generate a random integer between min & max (inclusive) - here min & max are 1 & 10, respectively $randomNum = rand(1, 10); // min and max can be reversed $randomNum = rand(10, 1); // Use the faster mt_rand() function to generate a random number between 0 and mt_getrandmax() $randomNum = mt_rand(); // Generate a random integer between min & max (inclusive) $randomNum = mt_rand(1, 10);
