Perhaps not the most efficient way, but one that is quite simple and provides for easy control over
characters used in the generated strings/passwords:
<?php
function generateCode($length=6) {
$chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPRQSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
$code = "";
while (strlen($code) < $length) {
$code .= $chars[mt_rand(0,strlen($chars))];
}
return $code;
}
?>
