Hi,
I have the code of a function to generate a random 10 character long
password following my signature.
To test it i do:
$clearpass = create_pass();
print('Clear: ' . $clearpass);
die();
But the output is only "Clear:"
Why isn't it working ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

function create_pass ()
{
$length=10;
$password = "";
$possible = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxz";
$i = 0;
while ($i < $length) {
$char = substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);
I have a very similar routine, but for the previous line, since you can
reference a string as an array, I do this:
$char = $possible[mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1)];
In this example, it would save ten function calls, if not more.
just a suggestion
if (!strstr($password, $char)) {
$password .= $char;
$i++;
}
}
return $password;
}
