.. is a pretty bad idea, since the output could include quotes,
newlines, low-ascii-characters, thereby messing up the form.

How do you figure that? md5() only returns 0-9 and a-f characters.


From the manual: http://php.net/md5
string md5 ( string str [, bool raw_output])
"If the optional raw_output is set to TRUE, then the md5 digest is
instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 16."

That "true" is the second parameter to uniqid(), not md5().
