Random Password Generator (my version)

[Fellixombc]

Well, Shaun posted a script which generates a random password, and I didn't like how it was structured and everything. So I went ahead made my own one. It's smaller.

Option #1:

<?php
function generate() {
$chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
$nums = '123456790';
$pass = '';

for($i = 0; $i < rand(8, 13); $i++) {
$key = rand(1, 2);
if ($key == 1)
$pass.=$chars[rand (0, 25)];
else if ($key == 2)
$pass.=$nums[rand (0, 8)];
}

return $pass;
}
echo generate();
?>

Option #2:


<?php
function generate() {
$chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890';
$pass = '';

for($i = 0; $i < rand(8, 13); $i++)
$pass .= $chars[rand (0, 35)];
return $pass;
}
echo generate();
?>

It echoes the function called, Generate.

Just......put it on your website? It's already echoing out a random password....and you can edit it to your settings. :P

Very nice.

Updated. Option 2 is a lot smaller, just contains less numbers.

Sorry but, I prefer my method:


function generate_pass($min_len=15) {
$pass = "";
while(strlen($pass) < $min_len) {
$pass .= (strlen($pass)%2==0)?rand(0,1)===1?chr(rand(65,90) ):chr(rand(97,122)):chr(rand(48,57));
}
return $pass;
}

Test script:

<?php
for($i=0;$i<20;$i++) {
echo generate_pass()."<br/>";
}
?>

output:
