note 91287 added to function.rand

Here's an even better random string generator: <?php function generateRandomString($length, $upper = false) { # 33, 126 all characters # 65, 90 uppercase # 97, 122 lowercase $str = ""; # Nothing yet for($i = 0; $i <= $length; $i++) { if($upper) { # If we want only uppercase $str .= chr(rand(65,90)); } else { $str .= chr(rand(97, 122)); } } } ?> Of course this is really simple, but it's far better than the dozens of lines of code currently used to create random strings ---- Server IP: 117.104.162.229 Probable Submitter: 203.206.183.72 (proxied: 203.206.183.72) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91287 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91287/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91287/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91287/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91287/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91287/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91287/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91287 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91287 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
