Generate random number from 0 – 9 in PHP?

To generate random number in PHP, use rand(). Let’s say the following is our input −

$storedValue ='0123456789';

And we want to display a random value from the above values.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
   $storedValue ='0123456789';
   $aRandomValue= $storedValue[rand(0,strlen($storedValue) - 1)];
   echo "The random value=",$aRandomValue;
?>
</body>
</html>

Output

This will produce the following output

The random value=3
