note 75029 added to function.mt-rand

Here's a more user friendly password generator. You want to make it easier for the user to enter the new password. Output: - First character is capitalize - Rest of the characters are either number or letters (lowercase) You can change the probability depending on your taste. Also by default it generates a 8-character long password. <?php function genPassword($length=8) { # first character is capitalize $pass = chr(mt_rand(65,90)); // A-Z # rest are either 0-9 or a-z for($k=0; $k < $length - 1; $k++) { $probab = mt_rand(1,10); if($probab <= 8) // a-z probability is 80% $pass .= chr(mt_rand(97,122)); else // 0-9 probability is 20% $pass .= chr(mt_rand(48, 57)); } return $pass; } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.39.81.135 Probable Submitter: 69.153.49.74 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75029 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75029/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75029/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75029/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75029/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75029/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75029/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75029 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75029 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
