Programming question

[khayman2001]

I'm looking to create a random number for a variable, and have no clue how to do so. I'm looking to write a text-based game in php, which I've yet to delve into very deeply, but I know I'll need several random numbers. Is this only done in some non-web-based language, or what?

PHP has a
randomNo = mt_rand(min,max);

Will that do it?

Yeah, that should work great, thanks.
