RandomInt

random_int() and random_byte() added in PHP 7.0 generate cryptographically secure pseudo-random integers. rand() and mt_rand() are cryptographically insecure.

Before

<?php
$rand = mt_rand(); // RandomInt: This function is not cryptographically secure. Consider using `random_int()`, `random_bytes()`, or `openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()` instead.

After

<?php
$rand = random_int(0, PHP_INT_MAX); // OK!
