This time I will bring you some methods of generating random numbers in PHP, and notes on generating random numbers in PHP. The following is a practical case, let's take a look.

The first method uses mt_rand()

function GetRandStr($length){ 
$str='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'; 
$len=strlen($str)-1; 
$randstr=''; 
for($i=0;$i<$length;$i++){ 
$num=mt_rand(0,$len); 
$randstr .= $str[$num]; 
} 
return $randstr; 
} 
$number=GetRandStr(6); 
echo $number;

Second method (fastest)

function make_password( $length = 8 ) 
{ 
 // 密码字符集，可任意添加你需要的字符 
 $chars = array(&#39;a&#39;, &#39;b&#39;, &#39;c&#39;, &#39;d&#39;, &#39;e&#39;, &#39;f&#39;, &#39;g&#39;, &#39;h&#39;, 
 &#39;i&#39;, &#39;j&#39;, &#39;k&#39;, &#39;l&#39;,&#39;m&#39;, &#39;n&#39;, &#39;o&#39;, &#39;p&#39;, &#39;q&#39;, &#39;r&#39;, &#39;s&#39;, 
 &#39;t&#39;, &#39;u&#39;, &#39;v&#39;, &#39;w&#39;, &#39;x&#39;, &#39;y&#39;,&#39;z&#39;, &#39;A&#39;, &#39;B&#39;, &#39;C&#39;, &#39;D&#39;, 
 &#39;E&#39;, &#39;F&#39;, &#39;G&#39;, &#39;H&#39;, &#39;I&#39;, &#39;J&#39;, &#39;K&#39;, &#39;L&#39;,&#39;M&#39;, &#39;N&#39;, &#39;O&#39;, 
 &#39;P&#39;, &#39;Q&#39;, &#39;R&#39;, &#39;S&#39;, &#39;T&#39;, &#39;U&#39;, &#39;V&#39;, &#39;W&#39;, &#39;X&#39;, &#39;Y&#39;,&#39;Z&#39;, 
 &#39;0&#39;, &#39;1&#39;, &#39;2&#39;, &#39;3&#39;, &#39;4&#39;, &#39;5&#39;, &#39;6&#39;, &#39;7&#39;, &#39;8&#39;, &#39;9&#39;, &#39;!&#39;, 
 &#39;@&#39;,&#39;#&#39;, &#39;$&#39;, &#39;%&#39;, &#39;^&#39;, &#39;&&#39;, &#39;*&#39;, &#39;(&#39;, &#39;)&#39;, &#39;-&#39;, &#39;_&#39;, 
 &#39;[&#39;, &#39;]&#39;, &#39;{&#39;, &#39;}&#39;, &#39;<&#39;, &#39;>', '~', '`', '+', '=', ',', 
 '.', ';', ':', '/', '?', '|'); 
 // 在 $chars 中随机取 $length 个数组元素键名 
 $keys = array_rand($chars, $length); 
 $password = ''; 
 for($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) 
 { 
  // 将 $length 个数组元素连接成字符串 
  $password .= $chars[$keys[$i]]; 
 } 
 return $password; 
}

The third method is to take the current timetime stamp

function get_password( $length = 8 ) 
{ 
 $str = substr(md5(time()), 0, $length);//md5加密，time()当前时间戳 
 return $str; 
}

The fourth way to scramble strings

function getrandstr(){ 
$str=&#39;ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890&#39;; 
$randStr = str_shuffle($str);//打乱字符串 
$rands= substr($randStr,0,6);//substr(string,start,length);返回字符串的一部分 
return $rands; 
}

Copy after login

//Start creating Verification code (generated directly using a function, which is more convenient and fast)

$code = rand(10000, 99999);

Comparison of the effects of php mt_rand generating 0~1 random decimals

lcg_value description

float lcg_value (void)

lcg_value() returns a pseudo-random number in the range (0, 1). This function combines two congruential generators with periods 2^31 - 85 and 2^31 - 249. The period of this function is equal to the product of these two prime numbers.

Returns: a pseudo-random number in the range (0, 1).

<?php 
for($i=0; $i<5; $i++){ 
 echo lcg_value().PHP_EOL; 
} 
?>

Output:

0.11516515851995
0.064684551575297
0.68275174031189
0.55730746529099

Comparison of two methods of generating random decimals from 0 to 1

1.Execution time comparison

The running time of executing the algorithm based on mt_rand() and mt_getrandmax() 100,000 times

<?php
/**
 * 生成0~1随机小数
 * @param Int $min
 * @param Int $max
 * @return Float
 */
function randFloat($min=0, $max=1){
 return $min + mt_rand()/mt_getrandmax() * ($max-$min);
}
// 获取microtime
function get_microtime(){
 list($usec, $sec) = explode(&#39; &#39;, microtime());
 return (float)$usec + (float)$sec;
}
// 记录开始时间
$starttime = get_microtime();
// 执行10万次获取随机小数
for($i=0; $i<100000; $i++){
 randFloat();
}
// 记录结束时间
$endtime = get_microtime();
// 输出运行时间
printf("run time %f ms\r\n", ($endtime-$starttime)*1000);
?>

Copy after login

Output: run time 266.893148 ms

Running time of executing lcg_value() 100,000 times

<?php
// 获取microtime
function get_microtime(){
 list($usec, $sec) = explode(&#39; &#39;, microtime());
 return (float)$usec + (float)$sec;
}
// 记录开始时间
$starttime = get_microtime();
// 执行10万次获取随机小数
for($i=0; $i<100000; $i++){
 lcg_value();
}
// 记录结束时间
$endtime = get_microtime();
// 输出运行时间
printf("run time %f ms\r\n", ($endtime-$starttime)*1000);
?>

Copy after login

Output: run time 86.178064 ms

Comparison of execution time, because lcg_value() is directly a native PHP method, while mt_rand() and mt_getrandmax() need to call two methods and need to be calculated, so the execution time of lcg_value() is about 3 times faster.

2. Comparison of random effects

Random effect based on mt_rand() and mt_getrandmax() algorithms

<?php
/**
 * 生成0~1随机小数
 * @param Int $min
 * @param Int $max
 * @return Float
 */
function randFloat($min=0, $max=1){
 return $min + mt_rand()/mt_getrandmax() * ($max-$min);
}
header(&#39;content-type: image/png&#39;);
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(512, 512);
$color1 = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$color2 = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
for($y=0; $y<512; $y++){
 for($x=0; $x<512; $x++){
  $rand = randFloat();
  if(round($rand,2)>=0.5){
   imagesetpixel($im, $x, $y, $color1);
  }else{
   imagesetpixel($im, $x, $y, $color2);
  }
 }
}
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

The random effect of lcg_value()

<?php
header(&#39;content-type: image/png&#39;);
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(512, 512);
$color1 = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$color2 = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
for($y=0; $y<512; $y++){
 for($x=0; $x<512; $x++){
  $rand = lcg_value();
  if(round($rand,2)>=0.5){
   imagesetpixel($im, $x, $y, $color1);
  }else{
   imagesetpixel($im, $x, $y, $color2);
  }
 }
}
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
