How to implement random image display in a for loop in PHP

Question

I have a simple web page where I am trying to echo multiple images, my code is as follows

<?php for($l=1;$l<=45;$l ){?>

<div class="thumb" style="background-image: url(l<?=$l?>.jpg);"></div>

<?php } ?>

So the pictures here are displayed in order from 1 to 45, but I want the pictures to be displayed in a random manner every time the page is loaded, can anyone tell me how to achieve this? Thank you in advance

As mentioned in the comments, just create an array and shuffle it.

$images = [];
for ($l = 1; $l <= 45; $l++) {
    $images[] = "<div class='thumb' style='background-image: url(l{$l}.jpg);'></div>";
}
shuffle($images);
echo implode("\n", $images);
