how do i generate a random php number in the billions?

[Nullifi3d]

how do i generate a random number in the tens or even hundreds of billions? I have tried using rand & mt_rand, but once I get into ther tens of billions or even hundreds of billions (past rand_max) it returns negative numbers or numbers not in between the min and max specified.

PHP Code:

if ($armyinfo['strike_action'] > 10000000) {
    $armyinfo['damage'] = mt_rand((.75 * $armyinfo['strike_action']), (.95 * $armyinfo['strike_action']));
} elseif ($armyinfo['strike_action'] > 100000000) {
    $armyinfo['damage'] = mt_rand((.80 * $armyinfo['strike_action']), (.95 * $armyinfo['strike_action']));
} elseif ($armyinfo['strike_action'] > 1000000000) {
    $armyinfo['damage'] = mt_rand((.85 * $armyinfo['strike_action']), (.95 * $armyinfo['strike_action']));
} elseif ($armyinfo['strike_action'] > 10000000000) {
    $armyinfo['damage'] = mt_rand((.90 * $armyinfo['strike_action']), (.95 * $armyinfo['strike_action']));
} else {
    $armyinfo['damage'] = mt_rand((.70 * $armyinfo['strike_action']), (.95 * $armyinfo['strike_action']));
}
