We all know the basic

    echo $i;
    $i++
}

Question: How do I increment $i by a random number between 1 and 5 each time it loops?

回答1:

Exactly like you described it in words: By increment it with a random number between 1 and 5.

while ($i < 1000) {
  echo $i;
  $i += rand(1,5);
}

In one line:

for ($i = 1; $i < 1000; $i += rand(1, 5)) echo $i;

回答3:

mt_rand is faster and uses uses the Mersenne Twister algorythm (1997)

while ($i < 1000) {
  echo $i;
  $i += mt_rand(1,5);
}
