Generate unique random alphanumeric characters that are 7 characters long

Question

It need not be meaningful words - more like random password generation, but the catch is - they should be unique. I will be using this for some kind of package / product cod

Answer 1

Heres a very simple way

$chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
$temp_pw = substr( str_shuffle( $chars ), 0, 7 );
if ( check_unique( $temp_pw ) ) {
    $pw = $temp_pw;
}

You'll have to implement your own check_unique function. That part should be easy.
