Use PHP To Generate Random Decimal Beteween Two Decimals

I need to generate a random number, to the 10th spot between 2 decimals in PHP.

Ex. A rand number between 1.2 and 5.7. It would return 3.4

How can I do this?

Solution

  • You can use:

    rand ($min*10, $max*10) / 10

    or even better:

    mt_rand ($min*10, $max*10) / 10
