note 74325 added to function.rand

isn't this just a simpler way of making a random id for somthing? I mean i know that there is a very slight chance that a duplicate could be made but its a very, very, very small chance, nearly impossible. $rand = mt_rand(0, 32); $code = md5($rand . time()); echo "$code"; and if you don't want it the md5 can be removed, I've just added it as a prefer it there :) Jon ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.4 Probable Submitter: 82.39.226.26 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74325 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74325/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74325/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74325/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74325/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74325/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74325/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74325 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74325 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
