This seems quite randomized to me, and useful. // //Function - Psuedo-Random ASCII generator for hashing etc // srand((double)microtime()*1234567); function rand_ascii($num) { for ($i=0;$i<$num;$i++) { $randnum .= "&#" . rand(33,255) . ";"; } return $randnum; } -------------------------- I tested this 200 times over and over, throwing them into arrays and comparing each array to 199 others.
