I've been using the random password functions listed here. I've tried both. However, neither appear to give me any resemblance of a random password. Every time the script runs, it appears to generate the same password! Does this mean that rand() is basing it's randomness on a known system value? I'm using Debian Woody with Apache, MySQL, and PHP4. If anyone is getting the same or a different answer, please let me know. Cheers.
