Topic: random pass
Now actual 1.2 code
//
// Generate a random password of length $len
//
function random_pass($len)
{
$chars = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
$password = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; ++$i)
$password .= substr($chars, (mt_rand() % strlen($chars)), 1);
return $password;
}Maybe better:
function random_pass () {
$length ="8"; // the length of the password required
$possible = '23456789abcdefghijkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ';
$str ="";
while (strlen($str) < $length) {
$str.=substr($possible, (rand() % strlen($possible)),1);
}
return($str);
