note 114934 added to function.base-convert

Example of using base_convert to generate random passwords function random_password() { $rvalue1 = mt_rand(100,999); $rvalue2 = time(); $rvalue3 = mt_rand(1000,9999); $rvalue4 = mt_rand(1,9); $rvalue5 = mt_rand(101,109); //combine values $rvalues = intval(((($rvalue2.$rvalue3) + $rvalue1)*$rvalue4) / $rvalue5); //return value in base-35 (will contain chars from '0' to 'z') return base_convert($rvalues,10,35); } Change the range of rvalue5 to get more or less characters. This setting will return 8 chars. ---- Server IP: 87.117.229.81 Probable Submitter: 94.0.41.195 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.base-convert.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114934 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114934/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114934/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114934/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114934/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114934/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114934/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114934 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114934 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
