echo round(random()*10)

Result:

a random number between 0 and 9

round

Usage: round(number.decimal,[optional] places)

Rounds the value of the parameter val up or down to the nearest integer and returns the value. Optional argument to specify precision (or number of decimal places).

Example:

echo round(6.66666666666666666666)

echo round(6.66666666666666666666,1)

Example:

echo sin(3)

Result:

(City Name) - 0.1411200080598672 (City Name) - Script stopped

sqrt

Usage: sqrt(number)

Computes and returns the square root of the specified number.

Example:

echo sqrt(16)

Result:

(City Name) - 4 (City Name) - Script stopped

tan

Usage: tan(angle)

Computes and returns the tangent of the specified angle.

Example:

echo tan(4)
