mt_rand — Generate a random value via the Mersenne Twister Random Number Generator
$min
, int $max
) : intAceastă funcție nu generează valori securizate din punct de vedere criptografic și deci nu trebuie utilizată pentru scopuri criptografice. Dacă aveți nevoie de o valoare securizată din punct de vedere criptografic considerați utilizarea random_int(), random_bytes() sau openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() în schimb.
Many random number generators of older libcs have dubious or unknown characteristics and are slow. The mt_rand() function is a drop-in replacement for the older rand(). 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.
| Versiune | Descriere |
|---|---|
| 7.2.0 | mt_rand() has received a bug fix for a modulo bias bug. This means that sequences generated with a specific seed may differ from PHP 7.1 on 64-bit machines. |
| 7.1.0 | rand() has been made an alias of mt_rand(). |
| 7.1.0 |
mt_rand() has been updated to use the fixed, correct, version of
the Mersenne Twister algorithm. To fall back to the old behaviour, use mt_srand() with MT_RAND_PHP as the second parameter.
|
| 5.3.4 |
Issues an E_WARNING and returns FALSE if
max < min.

Example #1 mt_rand() example
<?php
echo mt_rand() . "\n";
echo mt_rand() . "\n";
echo mt_rand(5, 15);
?>

min max range must
be within the range mt_getrandmax(). i.e. (max -
min) <= mt_getrandmax()
Otherwise, mt_rand() may return poorer random numbers
than it should.
