How can you generate random numbers in PHP

In PHP, you can generate random numbers using the built-in functions rand() and mt_rand(). The rand() function generates a pseudorandom integer between two specified values, while mt_rand() provides a faster and more efficient random number generator.

Here's an example of how to use these functions:


        <?php
        // Generate a random number between 1 and 100
        $randomNumber = rand(1, 100);
        echo "Random number using rand(): " . $randomNumber . "<br>";
  
        // Generate a random number using mt_rand
        $mtRandomNumber = mt_rand(1, 100);
        echo "Random number using mt_rand(): " . $mtRandomNumber;
        ?>
