You can use $this->data['User']['confirm_code'] = string::uuid();
"The uuid is a 128bit string in the format of 485fc381-e790-47a3-9794-1337c0a8fe68" http://book.cakephp.org/view/573/uuid Dave -----Original Message----- From: Jas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: October-05-09 11:15 PM To: CakePHP Subject: Are Hashed values unique? I've got an Email confirmation/validation process working for new users, the user receives an email with a link and this link has a hash value. I am just wondering if it were possible that one word could have the same hash as another? Using either of these hash methods sha1/sha256/md5? If so what are other people using to generate a unique code? apart from date/time as that would be guessable.
