Generating a random numbers and letters

Question

Can I ask for a certain code on how to generate a random letters and numbers in one word. I know there\'s a PHP function rand(), but I don\'t know if it\'s also applicable w

Answer 1

I put together a PHP class for generating random numbers and strings PHPRandomValue,

It uses "mcrypt_create_iv(4, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM)" to generate random numbers and values. I made it while working on a crypto project because I needed a safe random value generator and mt_rand() doesn't meet that requirement. Here's an example usage

$randomValue = new RandomValue;

$randomValue->randomNumber(): = -3880998

$randomValue->randomNumberBetween(1,10): = 2

$randomValue->randomTextString(): = CfCkKDHRgUULdGWcSqP4

$randomValue->randomTextString(10):  = LorPIxaeEY

$randomValue->randomKey(): = C7al8tX9.gqYLf2ImVt/!$NOY79T5sNCT/6Q.$!.6Gf/Q5zpa3

$randomValue->randomKey(10):  = RDV.dc6Ai/
