Hi, First take a look at the notes to rand() in the manual, there are several examples on how to generate random strings. To awoid duplications you could just put the used ones in an array and check every new one with in_array(). Alternativly, if you dont want to use arrays you could write a non repeating hash function and use microtime as the call value.

I would like it only to do a certain string ONCE, so there are no duplicates (in a for loop). Hopefully I won't need to do a huge array.
