This might not be quite what your looking for, but I often have then need
for a unique number in an incrementing order. random isnt quite the word for
it, unique is :)
function mtime()
{
$mtime = microtime();
$mtime = str_replace("\.", '', $mtime);
$mtime = explode(' ', $mtime);
$mtime = $mtime[1] . $mtime[0];
return($mtime);
}
