I'd like to point out that, the value returned by functions uniqid() and rand() are depending on the server's clock. It is possible that time will repeat when server clock is being sync. That may lead to a production of repeated ID, even md5 is applied. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41249 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41249&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41249&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
