Generates a random integer from 1 until 9.

echo $faker->randomDigitNotNull();

// an integer between 1 and 10

Generates a random integer, containing between 0 and `$nbDigits` amount of digits. When the `$strict` parameter

is `true`, it will only return integers with $nbDigits amount of digits.

echo $faker->randomNumber(5, false);

// 123, 43, 19238, 5, or 1203

echo $faker->randomNumber(5, true);

// 12643, 42931, or 32919

Generates a random float. Optionally it's possible to specify the amount of decimals.

The second and third parameters optionally specify a lower and upper bound respectively.

echo $faker->randomFloat();

// 12.9830, 2193.1232312, 102.12

echo $faker->randomFloat(2);

echo $faker->randomFloat(1, 20, 30);

// 21.7, 27.2, 28.1

Generates a random integer between `$min` and `$max`. By default, an integer is generated between `0`

and `2,147,483,647` (32-bit integer).

echo $faker->numberBetween();

// 120378987, 182, 102310983

echo $faker->numberBetween(0, 100);

// 32, 87, 91, 13, 75

Generates a random character from the alphabet.

echo $faker->randomLetter();

// 'h', 'i', 'q'

Returns `$count` amount of random element from the given array. By default, the `$count` parameter is set to 1.

echo $faker->randomElements(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']);

// ['c']

echo $faker->randomElements(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 3);

// ['a', 'd', 'e']

Returns `$count` amount of random element from the given array. By default, the `$count` parameter is set to 1.

echo $faker->randomElement(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']);

// 'c'

Returns a shuffled version of either an array or string.

echo $faker->shuffle('hello-world');

// 'lrhoodl-ewl'

echo $faker->shuffle([1, 2, 3]);

// [3, 1, 2]

Generate a string where all `#` characters are replaced by digits between 0 and 10. By default, `###` is used as input.

echo $faker->numerify();

// '912', '271', '109', '674'

echo $faker->numerify('user-####');

// 'user-4928', 'user-3427', 'user-1280'

Generate a string where all `?` characters are replaces with a random letter from the Latin alphabet. By default, `????`

is used as input.

echo $faker->lexify();

// 'sakh', 'qwei', 'adsj'

echo $faker->lexify('id-????');

// 'id-xoqe', 'id-pqpq', 'id-zpeu'

Generate a string where `?` characters are replaced with a random letter, and `#` characters are replaces with a random

digit between 0 and 10. By default, `## ??` is used as input.

echo $faker->bothify();

// '46 hd', '19 ls', '75 pw'

echo $faker->bothify('?????-#####');

// 'lsadj-10298', 'poiem-98342', 'lcnsz-42938'

Generate a string where `*` characters are replaced with a random character from the ASCII table. By default, `****` is

used as input.

echo $faker->asciify();

// '%Y+!', '{<"B', 'kF^a'

echo $faker->asciify('user-****');

// 'user-ntwx', 'user-PK`A', 'user-n`,X'

Generate a random string based on a regex. By default, an empty string is used as input.

echo $faker->regexify();

// ''

echo $faker->regexify('[A-Z]{5}[0-4]{3}');

// 'DRSQX201', 'FUDPA404', 'CQVIU411'

Generate a string containing random single word.

echo $faker->word();

// 'molestiae', 'occaecati', 'distinctio'

Generate an array containing a specified amount of random words.

Optionally, a second boolean parameter can be supplied. When true, a string will be returned instead of an array.

echo $faker->words();

// ['praesentium', 'possimus', 'modi']

echo $faker->words(5);

// ['molestias', 'repellendus', 'qui', 'temporibus', 'ut']

echo $faker->words(3, true);

// 'placeat vero saepe'

Generate a sentence containing a given amount of words. By default, `6` words is used.

Optionally, a second boolean parameter can be supplied. When `false`, only sentences with the given amount of words will

be generated. By default, `sentence` will deviate from the given amount by +/- 40%.

echo $faker->sentence();

// 'Sit vitae voluptas sint non voluptates.'

echo $faker->sentence(3);

// 'Laboriosam non voluptas.'

sentences($nb = 3, $asText = false); // ['Optio quos qui illo error.', 'Laborum vero a officia id corporis.', 'Saepe provident esse hic eligendi.']

paragraph($nbSentences = 3, $variableNbSentences = true); // 'Ut ab voluptas sed a nam. Sint autem inventore aut officia aut aut blanditiis. Ducimus eos odit amet et est ut eum.'

paragraphs($nb = 3, $asText = false); // ['Quidem ut sunt et quidem est accusamus aut. Fuga est placeat rerum ut. Enim ex eveniet facere sunt.', 'Aut nam et eum architecto fugit repellendus illo. Qui ex esse veritatis.', 'Possimus omnis aut incidunt sunt. Asperiores incidunt iure sequi cum culpa rem. Rerum exercitationem est rem.']

text($maxNbChars = 200) // 'Fuga totam reiciendis qui architecto fugiat nemo. Consequatur recusandae qui cupiditate eos quod.'
