generating a random number

[jwb666]

I nned to generate two random numbers with 32 digits (if this isnt possible 16 will do).

I am not quite sure how to go about doing this, would it be something like this:

<?php

microtime = 1000;
$random = range(1,9);

number_1 = "$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random";

number_2 = "$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random.$random";

echo("Number 1: <br> $number_1");
echo("<br><br>");
echo("Number 2: <br> $number_2");

?>

would this give two 32 digit random numbers at output? and also, is there a quicker way of doing this?

help would be very much apprieciated 🙂

1) plese put some line breaks in your code.
2) that won't work cause it'll put the same random number in each time - you want this:

<?php
//the smallest 32 digit integer
$rand_min = 10000000000000000000000000000000;
//the largest 32 digit integer
$rand_max = 99999999999999999999999999999999;

$my_rand = mt_rand($rand_min,$rand_max);
?>

Thanks for the help, i really needed that to progress on my project
