Well i put this little baby together for a project of my im working on, and thought i share it with you all.

Not the moast advanced but does what i wanted.
There´s room for alot of improvement i would guess.

Have fun :)

PHP Code:


			
function myRandomStr($passLen=16, $shakes=5)

{

    // Get some letters and integers easy and quick into arrays

    $smal_letters = range('a','z');

    $big_letters = range('A','Z');

    $integers = range('0', '9');



    // merge thoose arrays above to one array

    $combined = array_merge($smal_letters, $big_letters, $integers);

    

    // shake it around abit

    for($s = 0; $s < intval($shakes); ++$s)

    {

        shuffle($combined);

    }

    

    // find out how big the array is

    $len = count($combined);



    // then finaly create the string

    for($i = 0; $i < intval($passLen); ++$i)

    {

        // Choose some random letters from the array

        $salt = mt_rand(0, $len);

        echo($combined[$salt]);

    }

}



// Lets try a 15 char long and with 5 shakes.

myRandomStr(15, 5);
