note 98436 added to function.array-rand

unset() seem to me to be a better way to have a unique key in the generated result. Taking 1 from $i can last very long if you generate a long password (try with 20 chars) because array_rand can always "choose" a key which has already been used. <?php $my_array = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5"); $parola = ''; for ($i=0; $i<=15; $i++) { // Generates the random number from the array $random = array_rand($my_array); // Echo the count number and the random number called from array_rand // and print the array to see the last random char has been deleted echo '<br /> count ' . $i . ' => ' . $random . ' call<br />'; print_r($my_array); // Add the char to parola... $parola .= $my_array[$random]; // ...then unset the char from the array unset($my_array[$random]); } // Echo the result echo '<br /><br /> Parola generated : ' . $parola; ?> ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 78.226.14.12 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98436 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98436/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98436/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98436/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98436/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98436/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98436/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98436 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98436 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
