How can the problem of integer overflow be avoided when generating large random numbers in PHP?

Integer overflow can be avoided when generating large random numbers in PHP by using the `mt_rand()` function instead of `rand()`. `mt_rand()` generates random numbers using the Mersenne Twister algorithm, which has a much larger range than `rand()` and is less likely to overflow when dealing with large numbers.

$randomNumber = mt_rand(PHP_INT_MIN, PHP_INT_MAX);
echo $randomNumber;
