php-fakerHow do I use the Laravel Faker numerify function?


The Laravel Faker numerify function is a useful tool for generating random numbers in a specific format. It takes a string as an argument and replaces any '#' characters with a random number. Here is an example of how to use it:

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();
echo $faker->numerify('#####');

The output of the above code would be a 5 digit number such as 34861.

The numerify function can be used to generate a variety of different numbers. Here are the parts of the code and what they do:

  • $faker = Faker\Factory::create(); - This creates a new Faker instance.
  • echo $faker->numerify('#####'); - This uses the numerify function to generate a random 5 digit number.

For more information, please see the Faker documentation.
