I have to print the number of stars that increases on each line from the minimum number until it reaches the maximum number, and then decreases until it goes back to the minimum number. After printing out the lines of stars, it should also print the total number of stars printed.
I have tried using shell scripting and worked. But is there any other simplified and generic way to achieve this

mt_rand
MT_RAND(3) 1 MT_RAND(3)mt_rand - Generate a better random valueSYNOPSIS
int mt_rand (void )
DESCRIPTION
int mt_rand (int $min, int $max)
Many random number generators of older libcs have dubious or unknown characteristics and are slow. By default, PHP uses the libc random
number generator with the rand(3) function. The mt_rand(3) function is a drop-in replacement for this. It uses a random number generator
with known characteristics using the Mersenne Twister, which will produce random numbers four times faster than what the average libc
rand() provides.
If called without the optional $min, $max arguments mt_rand(3) returns a pseudo-random value between 0 and mt_getrandmax(3). If you want a
random number between 5 and 15 (inclusive), for example, use mt_rand(5, 15).
Caution
This function does not generate cryptographically secure values, and should not be used for cryptographic purposes. If you need a
cryptographically secure value, consider using random_int(3), random_bytes(3), or openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(3) instead.
PARAMETERS
o $min
- Optional lowest value to be returned (default: 0)
o $max
- Optional highest value to be returned (default: mt_getrandmax(3))
RETURN VALUES
A random integer value between $min (or 0) and $max (or mt_getrandmax(3), inclusive), or FALSE if $max is less than $min.

EXAMPLES
Example #1
mt_rand(3) example
<?php
echo mt_rand() . "
";
echo mt_rand() . "
";
echo mt_rand(5, 15);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
1604716014
1478613278
6
NOTES
Caution
The distribution of mt_rand(3) return values is biased towards even numbers on 64-bit builds of PHP when $max is beyond 2^32. This
is because if $max is greater than the value returned by mt_getrandmax(3), the output of the random number generator must be scaled
up.
