You can use rand() for generate a random number in PHP.

Description:
int rand ( int $min , int $max )


Parameters
min
The lowest value to return (default: 0)
max

For Example :

<?php
echo rand() . "\n";
echo rand() . "\n";

echo rand(5, 15);
?>

All things considered, I believe it's impractical in PHP programming dialect since it's modifying dialect not Ajax and html 5 and so on, in light of the fact that this capacity conceivable by Ajax HTML 5 and other markup dialect. So it's unrealistic by PHP dialect.
