PHP Random
==========

[](#php-random)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/3b1f8450d833424f980186e409535cc4923c44b73742b80e34c5490f4c838539/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f746b6a6e2f70687072616e646f6d2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/tkjn/phprandom)

The purposes of this library are:

- Provide a self-contained seeded number generator object, which doesn't rely on global state for the seed
- Define interfaces for random data generation that can be type-hinted and are easy to mock when unit testing.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require `tkjn/phprandom` in composer.json

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$random = new \Tkjn\Random\Integer\XorshiftStar();

// Generate random value between 10 and 100 (inclusive)
$randomNumber = $random->rand(10, 100);
```

Multiple instances will maintain their own seed unlike the built-in php `rand()` and `mt_rand()` which are seeded globally

```
$random1 = new \Tkjn\Random\Integer\XorshiftStar(123);
$random2 = new \Tkjn\Random\Integer\XorshiftStar(123);
$random3 = new \Tkjn\Random\Integer\XorshiftStar(85874);

var_dump($random1->rand(10, 90));
var_dump($random2->rand(10, 90));
var_dump($random3->rand(10, 90));

var_dump($random1->rand(10, 90));
var_dump($random2->rand(10, 90));
var_dump($random3->rand(10, 90));
```

Results in

```
int(59)
int(59)
int(13)

int(84)
int(84)
int(15)

```
