hi friends
I need a hash function to build a Unique serial number ...
Try:

But use at your own risk.
If you want a unique number try using a time stamp (i.e., time() ) in concert with a database.
For example, grab a time, look for it in a database, if it's not there then use it. If it is there then repeat until you have that isn't. That way it's a unique number guaranteed.

Addition to that.
When you find an unique number, use it AND store that in the database.
