note 102618 added to function.rand

Much easier way to generate random string of numbers and letters: <?php $n = rand(10e16, 10e20); echo base_convert($n, 10, 36); ?> This generates strings of about 11 characters. Experiment with the range for rand() if you want shorter or longer. ---- Server IP: 195.114.0.19 Probable Submitter: 79.186.58.203 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/102618 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102618/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102618/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102618/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102618/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102618/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102618/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102618 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/102618 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
