note 58411 added to function.str-shuffle

Just another update to password builder function. With this version, you can choose the number of alphanumeric characters to add and the number of non-alphanumeric characters. You obtain a more secure password. You can add another characters to the non-alphanumeric list if you need. If you want a password with 8 alphanumeric and 3 non-alphanumeric characters in a random order, just call : random_passwd(8,3); function generatePasswd($numAlpha=6,$numNonAlpha=2) { $pwd = ''; $listAlpha = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'; $listNonAlpha = ',;:!?.$/*-+&@_+;./*&?$-!,'; $start = mt_rand(1, (strlen($listAlpha)-$numAlpha)); $string = str_shuffle($listAlpha); $pwd .= substr($string,$start,$numAlpha); $start = mt_rand(1, (strlen($listNonAlpha)-$numNonAlpha)); $string = str_shuffle($listNonAlpha); $pwd .= substr($string,$start,$numNonAlpha); return str_shuffle($pwd); } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-shuffle.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58411 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58411&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58411&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58411&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58411&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58411&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58411&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58411&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58411&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
