I am trying to generate a 6 character unique id using this in my model:
function generateJobKey()
{
// creates a 6 digit key
$key = substr(md5(uniqid(rand(), true)),0,6);
//checkto make sure its not a duplcate
$q = $this->find('first', array('conditions', array('Job.key' =>
$key)));
if(!$q){
//if founds re-run the function
$this->generateJobKey();
} else {
return $key;
}
}
but I keep getting Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in so i am
obviously doing somethng wrong. Basically want to verify thekey is not
already created , if so generte anoher ..if not used passthe$key back to the
controller
Can someone point out the eror in my setup?
Thanks
Dave
