PHP随机生成字符串

当我们需要生成一个随机名字，临时密码等字符串时可以用到下面的函数

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

echo generateRandomString(20);
