How do I repeat a random number on a page ?

On a page I have a random number by using:

echo rand(5, 10);

I have a book on php that talks about random numbers but does not tell me how I can show the number generated on 2 more occasions elswere on the page.

So whatever number is chosen in the 5, 10 statement I want to show the result again further down the page(the same number).

 

$num = rand(5, 10);
echo $num;

...

echo $num;

...

echo $num;

PHP:

 

Thank you for that.

I thought it may include the echo statement.

I also thought I would need to give it some sort of tag like $num;

Good thing for me is I am starting to see what I need to do before asking now rather than posting in blind hope.

 

You must start to think like a programmer.
