When we want to generate a random string, we always create a character pool first, then use a loop and mt_rand () or rand () to generate php random numbers, randomly select characters from the character pool, and finally piece together the required length


function randomkeys($length) 
{ 
 $pattern = '1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 
    ABCDEFGHIJKLOMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ;
 for($i=0;$i<$length;$i++) 
 { 
  $key .= $pattern{mt_rand(0,35)}; // Generate php Random number  
 } 
 return $key; 
} 
echo randomkeys(8);

Another method of generating random numbers with PHP: Using chr () function, the step of creating character pool is omitted.


function randomkeys($length){ 
 $output=''; 
 for ($a = 0; $a<$length; $a++) { 
  $output .= chr(mt_rand(33, 126)); // Generate php Random number  
 } 
 return $output; 
} 
echo randomkeys(8);

In the second php random function, we first use mt_rand () to generate an php random number between 33 and 126, and then use chr () function to convert it into characters. The second function has the same function as the first function, and it is more concise. If you don't need special characters, it is better to write them directly in the character pool.

ASCII code table

Information is expressed in binary system on computer, which is difficult for people to understand. Therefore, computers are equipped with input and output devices. The main purpose of these devices is to display information on these devices in a human-readable form for human reading and comprehension. In order to ensure the correct information exchange between human beings and equipment, equipment and computer, people compiled the information exchange code of Unified 1, which is ASCII code table, and its full name is "American Information Exchange Standard Code".
