[SOLVED] Generate Random Number

[phpretard]

I would like to consistanly generate a 6 digit random number.  Seems easy enough, but the code below sometimes generates less than or 6 digits?

 

rand(000000, 999999);

 

Anybody know why?

[Daniel0]

str_pad(rand(0, 999999), '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);

or

sprintf('%06d', rand(0, 999999));

 

Also, if an integer starts with 0 in PHP then it will be considered octal, so you might get odd results if you start doing that.
