random text and number generator php code example

Example 1: PHP random string generator

function generateRandomString($length = 25) {
    $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    $charactersLength = strlen($characters);
    $randomString = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $randomString .= $characters[rand(0, $charactersLength - 1)];
    }
    return $randomString;
}
//usage 
$myRandomString = generateRandomString(5);

Example 2: php generate random string

function generateRandomString($length = 10) {
    $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    $charactersLength = strlen($characters);
    $randomString = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $randomString .= $characters[rand(0, $charactersLength - 1)];
    }
    return $randomString;
}

Example 3: Generate Random String in PHP

phpCopy<?php
 
function secure_random_string($length) {
    $rand_string = '';
    for($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $number = random_int(0, 36);
        $character = base_convert($number, 10, 36);
        $rand_string .= $character;
    }
 
    return $rand_string;
}
 
echo "Sec_Out_1: ",secure_random_string(10),"\n";
 
echo  "Sec_Out_2: ",secure_random_string(10),"\n";
 
echo  "Sec_Out_3: ",secure_random_string(10),"\n";
 
?>

Example 4: Generate Random String in PHP

phpCopy<?php
function random_str_generator ($len_of_gen_str){
    $chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
    $var_size = strlen($chars);
    echo "Random string ="; 
    for( $x = 0; $x < $len_of_gen_str; $x++ ) {  
        $random_str= $chars[ rand( 0, $var_size - 1 ) ];  
        echo $random_str;  
    }
echo "\n";
}
