note 52335 added to function.rand

Jawsper, the problem is that in your method you get not more than RAND_MAX 'random' strings. (in fact they are not random in the set of all strings of given length) It's rather poor result when compared with goochivasquez's strlen($keychars)^$length number of strings. In other words - it's little bit less complicated but far, far from achieving the goal. cezden ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52335 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52335&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52335&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52335&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52335&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52335&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52335&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
