PHP: Generating a random number between Min and Max

In order to generate a random number within a given range, you can use the rand() or the mt_rand() functions.

Example:

<?php
$x = rand(10, 20);
$b = mt_rand(20, 30);

// Printing the output
echo $x;
echo '<br/>';
echo $b; 
?>

Output (the output is not consistent will change each time you execute your code):

20
21

Note: mt_rand() is 4 times faster than rand(). You can find more information about this in the official docs.
