Technically, a good question....!
But also why there exists such an in-built function that we can use without understanding it
This is the cornerstone of an OOP-approach.
Read this: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/109724/how-do-random-number-generators-work
To truly know we will have to ask the PHP guys, I guess.

The same function can be done in JavaScript, Observe:
****However I must say PHP's aproach is cleaner, notice the "Math.floor()" function that rounds the result of "Math.random()" to one digit..i.e without the "Math.floor()" outputs something like this: 1.065623, 2.04698 e.t.c

Language: Javascriptvar $myNumber = Math.floor((Math.random()*6)+1);

Great question Willem.
I did some reading on the topic and the most interesting thing I learned is that the algorithm used in this function is close to a true randomised result but is unable to incorporate the God factory which will make it true randomisation.
Thanks man!

I think Prof Mac, left the building??

I only respond when it is necessary I am far more interested in using the function than understanding how it works in detail - no need to understand it!

lol.. So the fact that you're quiet means we're doing a great job assisting one another..

Yes. And The more support from various people, the more perspectives... Also, by responding to a problem, you also also learn
