What are some PHP functions that can be used to generate random values in a matrix?

To generate random values in a matrix using PHP, you can use the `rand()` function to generate random integers within a specified range. You can loop through rows and columns of the matrix and assign random values to each element. Another option is to use the `mt_rand()` function which is a faster alternative to `rand()` for generating random integers. 

// Function to generate a random matrix of size $rows x $cols
function generateRandomMatrix($rows, $cols) {
    $matrix = array();
    
    for ($i = 0; $i < $rows; $i++) {
        for ($j = 0; $j < $cols; $j++) {
            $matrix[$i][$j] = rand(1, 100); // Generate a random integer between 1 and 100
        }
    }
    
    return $matrix;
}

// Example usage
$randomMatrix = generateRandomMatrix(3, 3);
print_r($randomMatrix);
