<?php

echo "rand() function will generate a random number as follows:".rand();

echo " Same rand() function could generate another random number as follows:".rand();

echo " rand() with parameter will generate a random number as follows:". rand(2,10);

First Output:

rand() function will generate a random number as follows:13638
Same rand() function could generate another random number as follows:13063
rand() with parameter will generate a random number as follows:2

Second Output (after refreshing the page):

rand() function will generate a random number as follows:14941
Same rand() function could generate another random number as follows:24530
