I am coding an application where i need to assign random date between two fixed timestamps
how i can achieve this using php i’ve searched first but only found the answer for Java not php
for example :
$string = randomdate(1262055681,1262055681);

PHP has the rand() function:
$int= rand(1262055681,1262055681);
It also has mt_rand(), which is generally purported to have better randomness in the results:
$int= mt_rand(1262055681,1262055681);
To turn a timestamp into a string, you can use date(), ie:
$string = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$int);
