simple.
http://www.php.net/manual/function.rand.php
first seed the random number generator. I usually do it like this:
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
then just call rand().
$random_number=rand(1,9999);
(the second number is the upper limit of the number you want to find.
set this however high you want.)
