generate a random number in php

To generate a random number in PHP, you can make use of the built-in rand() function. This function takes two arguments, the minimum and maximum values of the range in which you want to generate a random number. Here's an example code snippet that generates a random number between 1 and 100:

main.php
$random_number = rand(1, 100);
echo "Random number: " . $random_number;
72 chars
3 lines

You can adjust the minimum and maximum values as needed to generate a random number within a different range.
