I would like to generate 7 digit number that is very similar to the original randomized number in PHP.

The purpose is: the original randomized number simulates the telephone number that is used in a sound game where users identifies the correct number while listening to the audio.

Using loop

$original_randomized_number=rand(1000000,9999999);

for ($x = 1; $x <= 3; $x++) {

$generated_telephones[$x] = rand(1000000,9999999);

}

to generate 3 random telephone numbers works, but it is too simple to identify the correct number.

F.e. the original randomized number 9876543 - the desired result similar to - 9865742, 8896558, 9586543

My Answer:
= 100; $x++) {
$similar_number = $original_randomized_number + rand(-1000, 1000);
echo $similar_number . "
";
}
