Hi,

I have the code of a function to generate a random 10 character long
password following my signature.

To test it i do:

$clearpass = create_pass();
print('Clear: ' . $clearpass);
die();

But the output is only "Clear:"

Why isn't it working ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

function create_pass ()
{

  $length=10;

  $password = "";

  $possible = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxz";

  $i = 0;

  while ($i < $length) {
    $char = substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);

I have a very similar routine, but for the previous line, since you can reference a string as an array, I do this:

$char = $possible[mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1)];

In this example, it would save ten function calls, if not more.

just a suggestion


    if (!strstr($password, $char)) {
      $password .= $char;
      $i++;
    }

  }

   return $password;

}
