function random_string($Ncharacters) {
static $CharList = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
$String = '';
$Max = strlen($CharList)-1;
for ($i=0; $<$Ncharacters; $i++) {
$String .= $CharList{rand(0, $Max)};
}
return $String;
}For php < 4.2.0, you'll need to seed the random number generator first; see
http://www.php.net/rand
You could probably also make something up using rand in conjunction with ord():

I would like to have a script that randomly generates alpha-numeric characters. Does anyone know of any scripts that can do this or perhaps the basic code to generate random characters?
Thank You, Jason Williard
