RE: [PHP] random letter/character?[Scanned]

Hi, > function gen_password($length = 8) { > > $chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"; [snip] Just as a tip - if you want to save hassle for yourself and your users, remove the following characters from that string: - 1 (number one) - l (lower-case letter L) - I (upper-case letter I) - 0 (number zero) - O (upper-case letter O) These often look the same (for instance, in Courier New at 9pt, 1/l and 0/O are pixel-perfect matches of each other) and can cause major confusion amongst less technically gifted users :-) Cheers Jon
