Hi,
I need to generate a lowercase alphanumeric passwrord thats 8 characters long, has anyone got a function that can do this?
No, but I can write a quick one for you. Can't guarantee the uniqueness of the password being generated.
function passgen()
{
srand((float) microtime() * 10000000); //Source arrays
$letters = range('a','z');
$digits = range(1,9);//Get random items from arrays $char = array_rand($letters, 4); $num = array_rand($digits, 4);
//Combine the two random items into one array
for ($i = 0; $i <4; ++$i)
{
$ran_char[] = $letters[$char[$i]];
$ran_num[] = $digits[$num[$i]];
}
//build our password
$password = array_unique(array_merge($ran_char, $ran_num));//randomize it shuffle($password);
return join("",$password);
}echo passgen();
?>
