rand() vs mt_rand() in php

i mostly use rand() function to generate random number
rand(1,1333);

but i seen people using mt_rand also

so my question is both rand() and mt_rand() are same or any difference ?
if same why created two functions ?

mt_rand() function is fast to run in respect to rand() function

so use mt_rand where performance is matter
