random_int Get a cryptographically secure, uniformly selected integer &reftitle.description; intrandom_int intmin intmax Generates cryptographic random integers that are suitable for use where unbiased results are critical, such as when shuffling a deck of cards for a poker game. &csprng.sources; &csprng.function.backport; &reftitle.parameters; min The lowest value to be returned; must be PHP_INT_MIN or greater. max The highest value to be returned; must be PHP_INT_MAX or less. &reftitle.returnvalues; A cryptographically secure, uniformly selected integer from the closed interval [min, max]. Both min and max are possible return values. &reftitle.errors; &csprng.errors; If max is less than min, an ValueError will be thrown. &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 8.2.0 In case of a CSPRNG failure, this function will now throw a Random\RandomException.
