In "PHP Mathematical Function Practice 2: All-round Application of the Round() Function", we introduce to you the role of the PHP mathematical function round (rounding floating point numbers) through specific code examples. ) and how to use it, simple and easy to understand.
In this article, we continue to introduce the use of the commonly used mathematical function rand in PHP. Why is it said to be commonly used? Presumably in the PHP development process, the use of random numbers is relatively common, so the role of the rand function is to generate random integers.
Old tradition, we start with a specific question, "Please write a PHP script to generate a random 11-character alphanumeric string".
Give everyone 3 seconds to think about the solution to this problem

Too simple!
First of all, without further ado, create a PHP sample file demo.php
<?php $x = rand(10e12, 10e16); echo base_convert($x, 10, 36)."\n";

Function summary:
rand() function syntax "rand();" or "rand(min,max);". If you want a random integer between 10 and 100, inclusive, use rand (10,100). The base_convert() function syntax is "base_convert(number, frombase,tobase);". The parameters inside respectively represent: the number to be converted, the original base of the specified number and the base to be converted. (Between 2 and 36, including 2 and 36, numbers higher than decimal are represented by letters a-z, for example, a represents 10, b represents 11 and z represents 35) Note: The mt_rand() function is generated A better choice for random values. The speed of returning results is 4 times that of the rand() function. We will introduce this to you in a follow-up article.
