Hi Jeroen,
I think we're not on the same page. :) I consider both versions
of str_rand() I posted trivial...
Also, and this is strictly subjective, I don't think the function
needs to be implemented natively. As I said, it's trivial. :) But
my stance could be rated as -0.3... Actually, as I'm thinking about
it, -0.2.
as for the rand_str($len , "1..9a..f\x4F") proto:
I don't like it. KISS.
