lcg_value — Combined linear congruential generator
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 8.4.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.
lcg_value() returns a pseudo random number in the range of (0, 1). The function combines two CGs with periods of 2^31 - 85 and 2^31 - 249. The period of this function is equal to the product of both primes.
Esta función no genera valores criptográficos fiables por lo que no debería empelarse para propósitos criptográficos. Si fuera necesario un valor criptográfico seguro, considérese utilizar random_int(), random_bytes(), o openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() en su lugar.
Scaling the return value to a different interval using multiplication or addition (a so-called affine transformation) might result in a bias in the resulting value as floats are not equally dense across the number line. As not all values can be exactly represented by a float, the result of the affine transformation might also result in values outside of the requested interval.
Use Random\Randomizer::getFloat() to generate a random float within an arbitrary interval. Use Random\Randomizer::getInt() to generate a random integer within an arbitrary interval.
Esta función no tiene parámetros.
A pseudo random float value between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.

Choose your weapon:
<?php
function mt_randf($min, $max)
{
return $min + abs($max - $min) * mt_rand(0, mt_getrandmax())/mt_getrandmax();
}
function lcg_randf($min, $max)
{
return $min + lcg_value() * abs($max - $min);
}
function randf($min, $max)
{
return $min + rand(0,getrandmax()) / getrandmax() * abs($max - $min);
}?>An elegant way to return random float between two numbers:
<?php
function random_float ($min,$max) {
return ($min+lcg_value()*(abs($max-$min)));
}
?>
