Did you even bother to read the PHP manual for random functions, e.g.
rand()?

Why bother with rand()? Just start at 1001 and increment. Each number
will be unique.

Your subject line says "Random number", and you are asking for a "Unique
number". Which is it? A random number, or a number which is unique, or both?

I interpreted this (despite the subject, which I didn't notice) as 'how
can I arrange that every time this page is run it will generate a
different number?'
If that is indeed the question, then you need to save the latest number
(or all of them, if they are indeed to be random rather than sequential)
locally on the server - either in a file or in a database.

Your question is contradictory mate you couldnt make a random number
that began with specified non random value. You could however make a
string variable that was comprised of both a constant value of '1001.'
and an entirely random number using a random number generating
function. Like this
$string .= '1001';
$string .= 'your random number';
echo $string;
You would need to ask someone else about generating a random number in
PHP as i've never had to do it, i just stick a few incrementing numbers
together pulled from a database if i want to create a unique value like
for a transaction ID or something.

One issue that comes up fairly often around here is the poor
quality of the pseudo-random number generators supplied with many
C implementations. As a result, we have to recommend things like
using the high-order bits returned by rand() instead of the
low-order bits, avoiding using rand() for anything that wants
decently random numbers, not using rand() if you want more than
approx. UINT_MAX total different sequences, and so on.
So I...

I know how to use rand() to generate random POSITIVE-INTEGER numbers.
But, I'd like to generate a random DOUBLE number in the range of 0.0 to 1.0
with resolution of a double (i.e., every possible double value in the range
could come up with equal probability). I'd also like to be able to seed this
generator (e.g., via the clock) so that the same sequence of random values
don't come up every time.
Anybody have an easy and fast...

Hey guys
Using Random(), how random is it, is it possible to be predicted? I have a
requirement for a very good random number generator. I was doing something
such as:
Random randomSeed = new Random((int)_seedTimer.ElapsedTicks);
_random = new Random(randomSeed.Next(0,99999999));
return random.Next(min, max);

Hi,
I am supposed to create a program that generates a random number and then asks the user to guess the number (1-100). The program tells the user if he guessed too high or too low. If he guessed right, it asks the user is he/she wants to play again. If the answer is yes, it generates a random number and asks the user to guess the number again. The user can exit if he enters 0. I have created the following code so far but it does not work....

I would like to be able to create a random number generator that produces
evenly distributed random numbers up to given number.
For example, I would like to pick a random number less than 100000, or
between 0 and 99999 (inclusive).
Further, the I want the range to be a variable. Concretely, I would like to
create the following method:

string number = "";
for (int i=0; i<count; i++)
{
Random Rnd = new Random();
number = number+Convert.ToString(Rnd.Next(0,9));
