Random Compat
=============

[](#random-compat)

What is this library?
---------------------

[](#what-is-this-library)

This is a proof-of-concept (and potentially a compatibility library) for a simplified random number generation API to be proposed for PHP core for 5.6.

This library can generate strong random numbers and cryptographically secure random numbers.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

While the API is in flux, refer to `test.php` for example usage and the Random class itself under `lib`.

composer install
----------------

[](#composer-install)

```
"require": {
    "wind/random-compat" : "dev-master"
}
```
