Note Submitter: </Life> ---- You can also easily generate random passwords using "for": <?PHP // -> define('CHARPOOL', 'ABC..YZab..yz0..9'); // The characters that may appear in the password. define('CHARPOOL_MAXINDEX', strlen(CHARPOOL)-1); // maximum character index of a string is length-1 define('PASSWORD_LENGTH', 8); // The length of the generated password. To generate passwords with variable length use mt_rand(min_length,max_length) for this. // <- You might want to use these values directly within the for-loop, // but for the reason of readability they are defined as constants here. for ($passwd=''; strlen($passwd)<PASSWORD_LENGTH; $passwd.=substr(CHARPOOL,CHARPOOL_MAXINDEX)); echo 'Generated password is: '.$passwd; ?>
