Note Submitter: cezden ---- Jawsper, the problem is that in your method you get not more than RAND_MAX 'random' strings. (in fact they are not random in the set of all strings of given length) It's rather poor result when compared with goochivasquez's strlen($keychars)^$length number of strings. In other words - it's little bit less complicated but far, far from achieving the goal. cezden
