Hi people,
I have to make a password generator, but i have a little problem.
- It needs to generate password 8 characters long, and including 1 or 2 special characters(like #$%&*@).
- Those special characters can never appear as the first or last character in the string... anywhere between is fine.
I have a password generator script now that does the first thing... but the special character can be in front or back of the string wich it shouldnt.. i have been looking on the web for this but i havent found the answer. Below is my scripts so far..
Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time,
please don't cross-post.
>>>
<?php
function generatePassword( $length = 8 ) {
$alphaNumChar = array( 'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','e','f','g','h','i','j','k',
'l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z','0','1','2','3','4','5','6',
'7','8','9' );
$specialChar = array( '%','#','*','&' );
$allChars = array_merge( $alphaNumChar, $specialChar );
$returnValue = '';
mt_srand( lcg_value() * 10000 + time() );
$returnValue .= $alphaNumChar[ array_rand( $alphaNumChar ) ]; if( ( $length -= 2 ) > 0 ) {
while( $length-- > 0 ) {
$returnValue .= $allChars[ array_rand( $allChars ) ];
}
} $returnValue .= $alphaNumChar[ array_rand( $alphaNumChar ) ];
return $returnValue;
}echo generatePassword(); ?> <<<
mit freundlichen grüßen aus berlin, daniel
