Hi all, I wish that following code might be usefull for you. Rand() can be used to generate unique
userfriendly codes. For example if you want to give each user a code that can be easily rememberd.
Rand() surprisingly generates userfriendly codes when used like this,
<?php
$num = rand(0, 9);
$num1 = rand(0, 9);
$num2 = rand(0, 9);
$num3 = rand(0, 9);
$num4 = rand(0, 9);
$num5 = rand(0, 9);
$code = $num . $num1 . $num2 . $num3 . $num4 . $num5;
echo "$code";
?>
When you run this code, you can see the generated number is easiy to remember.
