ah-oh, you want to be able to specify the set of characters...

PEAR can be useful, but the power of PHP is, that is has so many helpful
build-in functions. And with pear, it will always be longer.
I think that new functions should be added on basis of
usefulness, not the coolness factor. IMNSHO this function

Hi Jeroen,
I think we're not on the same page. :) I consider both versions
of str_rand() I posted trivial...
Agree. But they are not what rand_str could do. The result has
16 different chars, just because md5 happens to have that much.
Implementing something that has NOT that limitation, is

Hi,
I'm thinking about a new function: [mt_]rand_str

string [mt_]rand_str(minlen,maxlen[,charlist]);
