Note Submitter: oxiroxt at gmail dot com ---- Based on adam at greatbigmassive dot com 02-Dec-2008 01:10 's use of preg_replace with eval idea This one-liner will generate a random string consisting of a-Z0-9, of as many characters long as printable characters you put in the 3th parameter of preg_replace: //This will return a 20 character long alphanumeric random string like: "v6Q0tdgI8lq4Fd0P8Pp4" preg_replace("/./e", "chr(array_rand(array_flip(array(rand(65,90),rand(97,122),rand(48,57))),1))", "...................."); Note: str_repeat won't work as it will only evaluate the random character once. If you know of a more simple alternative in the sorts of str_repeat, please email me and let me know, thanks! Regards, oxi
