rand Generate a random integer &reftitle.description; intrand intmin intmax If called without the optional min, max arguments rand returns a pseudo-random integer between 0 and RAND_MAX. If you want a random number between 5 and 15 (inclusive), for example, use rand (5, 15). On some platforms (such as Windows) RAND_MAX is only 32768. If you require a range larger than 32768, specifying min and max will allow you to create a range larger than RAND_MAX, or consider using mt_rand instead. ¬e.randomseed; &reftitle.parameters; min The lowest value to return (default: 0) max The highest value to return (default: RAND_MAX) &reftitle.returnvalues; A pseudo random value between min (or 0) and max (or RAND_MAX, inclusive). &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; Since 3.0.7 In versions before 3.0.7 the meaning of max was range. To get the same results in these versions the short example should be rand (5, 11) to get a random number between 5 and 15. &reftitle.examples; ]]> &example.outputs.similar; &reftitle.seealso; srand getrandmax mt_rand
