function randString($length=16){
mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$newstring="";
if($length>0){
while(strlen($newstring)<$length){
switch(mt_rand(1,3)){
case 1: $newstring.=chr(mt_rand(48,57)); break; // 0-9
case 2: $newstring.=chr(mt_rand(65,90)); break; // A-Z
case 3: $newstring.=chr(mt_rand(97,122)); break; // a-z
}
}
}
return $newstring;
}
$contact_person_pass = randString();
$msg = "Your Name:\t$contact_person_name\n";
$msg .= "Please use the following details to login in future\n\n";
$msg .= "Your E-Mail:\t$contact_person_mail\n";
$msg .= "Your Password:\t$contact_person_pass\n\n";
$msg .= "You change your password later when you click on 'Firm
