php random x digit number

Question

I need to create a random number with x amount of digits.

So lets say x is 5, I need a number to be eg. 35562 If x is 3, then it would throw back something like; 463

Answer 1

I usually just use RAND() http://php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php

e.g.

rand ( 10000 , 99999 );

for your 5 digit random number
