If using str_shuffle to get random passwords, use str_repeat to allow a character to appear multiple
times:
<?php
substr(str_shuffle(str_repeat('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789',5)),0,5);
?>
This will take the all-character string, multiply it 5 times, shuffle it, and return the first 5
characters of the shuffle.
