How can the Law of Small Numbers be applied to the issue of repeating random numbers in PHP when using rand() function?

The issue with the rand() function in PHP is that it may not generate truly random numbers, leading to a clustering of repeating numbers. To address this, we can apply the Law of Small Numbers by using a different random number generation technique, such as using the mt_rand() function, which provides better randomness and reduces the likelihood of repeating numbers.

// Using mt_rand() instead of rand() to generate random numbers
$randomNumber = mt_rand($min, $max);
