Answer 1

hope, this code help you

$firstRand = [rand(1, 10), rand(1, 10)];
$secondRand = [rand(1, 10), rand(1, 10)];

for ($i=1; $i < 11; $i++) {
    for ($j=1; $j < 11; $j++) {
        $myNumber = $j;

        if (
            $i === $firstRand[0] && $j === $firstRand[1] || 
            $i === $secondRand[0] && $j === $secondRand[1]
        ) {
            $myNumber = '-';
        }

        echo $myNumber . ", ";

        if ($j == 10) {
            echo "<br>";
        }
    }
}

Create an array in the range from 1 to 10, pick 2 random keys and replace them with the desired string:

<?php
$replaceString = '--';
for($x=1; $x<=5; $x++) {
    $range = range(1,10);
    $randomKeys = array_rand($range, 2);
    $range[$randomKeys[0]] = $replaceString;
    $range[$randomKeys[1]] = $replaceString;
    echo implode(',', $range);
    echo '<br>';
}
