Here's a small function I wrote up to generate random passwords using the chr() function. function randPass($len) { $pw = ''; //intialize to be blank for($i=0;$i<$len;$i++) { switch(rand(1,3)) { case 1: $pw.=chr(rand(48,57)); break; //0-9 case 2: $pw.=chr(rand(65,90)); break; //A-Z case 3: $pw.=chr(rand(97,122)); break; //a-z } } return $pw; } Example: $password = randPass(10); //assigns 10-character password I found this useful in my early coding days... I'm sure someone else will too :D -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chr.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26687 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26687 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26687
