note 19085 added to function.md5

In reference to:cjgraham@tachegroup.com (14-Jan-2002 12:18) If you use md5 to generate a password you only have 15 chars (0-9,a-f) and that is a really bad password. Better, if you work with 0-9,A-Z,a-z and generate it with e.g. this function: function generatekey($count) { mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); $key = ""; for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) { $c = mt_rand(0,2); if ($c==0) { $key .= chr(mt_rand(65,90)); } elseif ($c==1) { $key .= chr(mt_rand(97,122)); } else { $key .= mt_rand(0,9); } } return $key; } You can add other chars like *,&,%,$,§,-,., etc. of course, too, if needed.
