Generate unique password using PHP function

1) PHP function code

Here is the main PHP function code for generate unique password. In this function I have used four type of charecters. Numeric, Alpha numeric, Integer and Special charecters. Special charecters make password string very strong.

function getPassword($length)
{
    $myChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
    $myChars .= "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    $myChars .= "1234567890";
    $myChars .= "!@#$%^&*()_+<>?:-|\/";
	
    $myPass = "";
	
    mt_srand((double)microtime()*1234567);
	
    for($r=0;$r<$length;$r++)
    $myPass .= $myChars[mt_rand(0,strlen($myChars)-1)];
	
    return $myPass;
}

2) Implementation

You can copy the function code and paste it in your “function.php” or “header.php” files. So that you can use this function in your whole project anywhere you want. You just need to call the function. How to call the function? check the next step.

Now after the implementation of PHP function you can use this function anywhere you want in your project. Just follow the below instructions.

$length = 6;  // Length of password
$pass = getPassword($length);
echo $pass;
