php-fakerHow do I generate a fake year in Laravel using Faker?

To generate a fake year in Laravel using Faker, you can use the year method provided by Faker. It will generate a random year between the current year and 100 years ago.

Example code

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();
$year = $faker->year;
echo $year;

Output example

1958

The code above creates a Faker instance and then calls the year method to generate a random year between the current year and 100 years ago. The output of the code in the example is 1958.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. $faker = Faker\Factory::create(); - creates a Faker instance.
2. $year = $faker->year; - calls the year method on the Faker instance.
3. echo $year; - prints the generated year.
