mt_rand — Generate a better random value
$min
, int $max
)Many random number generators of older libcs have dubious or unknown characteristics and are slow. By default, PHP uses the libc random number generator with the rand() function. The mt_rand() function is a drop-in replacement for this. It uses a random number generator with known characteristics using the » Mersenne Twister, which will produce random numbers four times faster than what the average libc rand() provides.
If called without the optional min,
max arguments mt_rand()
returns a pseudo-random value between 0 and
mt_getrandmax(). If you want a random number
between 5 and 15 (inclusive), for example, use mt_rand(5,
15).
minOptional lowest value to be returned (default: 0)
maxOptional highest value to be returned (default: mt_getrandmax())
A random integer value between min (or 0)
and max (or mt_getrandmax(), inclusive),
or FALSE if max is less than min.

This function does not generate cryptographically secure values, and should not be used for cryptographic purposes. If you need a cryptographically secure value, consider using openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() instead.
The distribution of mt_rand() return values is biased
towards even numbers on 64-bit builds of PHP when
max is beyond 2^32.
