php-fakerHow can I generate a fake phone number using PHP Faker?

Using PHP Faker, you can generate a fake phone number with the following code:

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();

echo $faker->phoneNumber;

This code will output a random phone number in the format +1-541-754-3010.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; - This line loads the Faker library so that it can be used.

2. $faker = Faker\Factory::create(); - This line creates a Faker object that can be used to generate random data.

3. echo $faker->phoneNumber; - This line uses the Faker object to generate a random phone number and print it out.
