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

The PHP Faker library provides an easy way to generate random last names. It can be used to generate names from different countries, regions, and cultures.

To generate a random last name using PHP Faker, you can use the following code:

<?php
// include Faker library
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

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

// generate random last name
$lastName = $faker->lastName;

// output random last name
echo $lastName;

The code above includes the Faker library, creates a Faker generator, and then generates a random last name. Finally, it outputs the generated last name.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; - includes the Faker library.
2. $faker = Faker\Factory::create(); - creates a Faker generator.
3. $lastName = $faker->lastName; - generates a random last name.
4. echo $lastName; - outputs the generated last name.
