How can the value generated by the RAND() function be used later in PHP?

When using the RAND() function in PHP to generate a random number, you can store the value in a variable for later use. This allows you to use the same random number throughout your code without regenerating it each time. Simply assign the result of RAND() to a variable and then use that variable wherever you need the random number. 

// Generate a random number and store it in a variable
$randomNumber = rand();

// Use the random number in your code
echo "Random number: " . $randomNumber;
