Random float number between 0 and 1.0 php
floating-point, integer, php, random
Solution
mt_rand() / mt_getrandmax();
Avoid the `rand()` function, since it usually depends on the platform's C `rand()` implementation, generally creating numbers with a very simple pattern. See this comment on php.net
Update: In php 7.1 the `rand()`has been changed and is now merely an alias of `mt_rand()`. Therefore it is now ok to use `rand()`, too.
