Generating random numbers is quite easy in php. I suggest using rand( ).
Simply put your upper limits and lower limits in, then it randomly chooses a
number inbetween.
EG: rand( 1, 9 ) generates a random number between 1 and 9. If you want to
be able to control the length, then use rand however many times its needed
$LengthOfRandom = "4";
WHILE ( $LengthOfRandom > 0 ) {
$RandomNumber .= rand( 0,9 );
//The .= means it will add the value on the right on to what already
excists on the left
$LengthOfRandom = $LengthOfRandom - 1;
}
print $LengthOfRandom;
would output random numbers like below
1220
8273
For more infomation, take a look at

Hope this helps
