note 102007 added to function.rand

hey found out the easiest way to generate random number thought to share here //usage random(6) to generate 6 digit random number function random($length) { //collection of random number elements. "total is 36" $haystack = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"; //checking of minimum input length if($length>0) { //creation of empty variable to store the random string $rand=""; for($i=1; $i<=$length; $i++) { //extra seeding of rand funtion mt_srand((double)microtime() * 1000000); //geting a number between 1 to 36. 36 = total $num = mt_rand(1,36); //picking up the the random charac $rand .= $haystack{$num}; } } //returning it return $rand; } minified version function random($length){ $haystack = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"; if($length>0){ $rand_id=""; for($i=1; $i<=$length; $i++){ mt_srand((double)microtime() * 1000000); $num = mt_rand(1,36); $rand_id .= $haystack{$num}; } } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 117.195.101.21 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/102007 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102007/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102007/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102007/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102007/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102007/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102007/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102007 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/102007 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
