I’m going to create all key combinations; simple-letter passwords and store those in to MySql DB. Using = a-z (simple letters) Password length = 6 Number of possibilities = 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 = 308,915,776 This is my code: <?php

      for($i=0;$i< 500000000;$i++){
            $arrPwd[] = createPwd();
      }

      $arrUniqueData = array_unique($arrPwd);

      foreach($arrUniqueData as $key=>$val){
            // Inserting to DB

}

      function createPwd() {
            $lower = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
            $seed_length += 26;
            $seed .= $lower;
                       for($x=1;$x<=6;$x++){
                  $ strPwd.= $seed{rand(0,$seed_length-1)};
            }
            return($strPwd);
      }

?> What is the easiest way to get my output? 1. Because above code will stuck the PC (for($i=0;$i< 500000000;$i++){). 2. I use 500000000 instead of 308915776, because createPwd() function

      will duplicating the password.

Suggesting, comments, code samples are highly appreciate.

The only reason I can see to do such a thing is to build a brute-force password cracker, and seeing as you're not smart enough to realise that you can do so incrementally instead of randomly, I don't see much reason to help you. Enjoy. -Stut
