generate a random boolean in php

You can use the rand() function to generate a random integer between 0 and 1, and then convert that integer to a boolean.

Here's an example code block:

main.php
$random_int = rand(0, 1);
$random_bool = (bool) $random_int;
61 chars
3 lines

This code generates a random integer using rand(), and then typecasts it to a boolean using the (bool) syntax. The resulting boolean is stored in the $random_bool variable.

Alternatively, you can use the mt_rand function to generate random integers. This function is faster than rand(), and is also more random.

Here's a code block that uses mt_rand() instead:

main.php
$random_int = mt_rand(0, 1);
$random_bool = (bool) $random_int;
64 chars
3 lines

Again, the resulting boolean is stored in the $random_bool variable.
