=={{header|PHP}}==
PHP has two random number generators: <code>[http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php rand]</code>, which uses the underlying C library's <code>rand</code> function; and <code>[http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php mt_rand]</code>, which uses the [[wp:Mersenne twister|Mersenne twister]] algorithm.
=={{header|PicoLisp}}==
PicoLisp uses a linear congruential generator in the built-in (rand) function,
with a multiplier suggested in Knuth's "Seminumerical Algorithms". See the
[http://software-lab.de/doc/refR.html#rand documentation].
