Will the array var item be parsed like that? Thought you needed a brace.

Try this:

 <?php
    $num=array(rand(), rand(), rand(), rand(), rand());
    for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
    echo '<input type="number" value="'.$num[$i].'">';
    ?>

Your array is empty

try this code it will work
<?php
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)

$num = array($i);
echo '<input type="number" name="'.$num[0].'"/>';
echo "<br>";

?>
