php-fakerHow do I generate a random filename using PHP Faker?

Using PHP Faker, you can generate a random filename with the following code:

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

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

$filename = $faker->word . '.' . $faker->fileExtension;
echo $filename;

The above code will output a random filename in the form of a word followed by a file extension, such as example.png.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; - This line includes the autoloader for PHP Faker.
2. $faker = Faker\Factory::create(); - This line creates an instance of the Faker class.
3. $filename = $faker->word . '.' . $faker->fileExtension; - This line generates a random filename by combining a random word with a random file extension.
4. echo $filename; - This line prints the random filename to the screen.

For more information, see the PHP Faker documentation.
