note 71275 added to function.mt-rand

In answer to David and pHp_n00b, about generating a random 6 characters hexadecimal string... Well, the easiest solution would be : <?php $rand = mt_rand(0x000000, 0xffffff); // generate a random number between 0 and 0xffffff $rand = dechex($rand & 0xffffff); // make sure we're not over 0xffffff, which shouldn't happen anyway $rand = str_pad($rand, 6, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); // add zeroes in front of the generated string echo $rand; ?> Some examples of generated stuff : 8514d2 3188ae 028f3e 444397 1de508 071662 You can easily make a function from this code. ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 62.73.5.156 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71275 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71275/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71275/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71275/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71275/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71275/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71275/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71275 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71275 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
