The mt_srand() function seeds the Mersenne Twister random number generator.Note − Random number generator is seeded automatically after the release of PHP 4.2.0. This function is not needed now.Syntaxmt_srand(seed)Parametersseed − The seed valueReturnThe mt_srand() function Returns nothing.Example Live DemoOutput1320295657

The mt_rand() function is used to generate random numbers. The numbers are generated using the Mersenne Twister algorithm.Note − This function is faster than the rand() functionSyntaxmt_rand() or mt_rand(min, max)Parametersmin − Default is 0.The lowest number to be Returned.max − The highest number to be Returned.ReturnThe mt_rand() function Returns a random integer between min (or 0) and max. FALSE is Returned if max < min.Example Live DemoOutput144ExampleLet us see another example − Live DemoOutput132850920
