"How can I create a random string" rand() only returns an int (number), but I would like something like dd75$6*, you know, containing any character. I would like it only to do a certain string ONCE, so there are no duplicates (in a for loop). Hopefully I won't need to do a huge array. Any suggestions?I would suggest uniqid() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php It creates a random string that is 32 characters long, hopefully this will fit your needs? -- Teach a man to fish...
