一个非常快速的方法是这样做:

substr(md5(rand()),0,10);

这将生成一个长度为10个字符的随机字符串。当然，有些人可能会说这在计算方面有点重，但现在的处理器已经优化到可以快速运行md5或sha256算法。当然，如果rand()函数返回相同的值，结果将是相同的，有1 / 32767的机会是相同的。如果安全性是问题，那么只需将rand()更改为mt_rand()

function getRandomString($length) {
  $salt = array_merge(range('a', 'z'), range(0, 9));
  $maxIndex = count($salt) - 1;

  $result = '';
  for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
    $index = mt_rand(0, $maxIndex);
    $result .= $salt[$index];
  }
  return $result
}

以前的答案会生成不安全或难以输入的密码。

这是安全的，并且提供了用户更有可能实际使用的密码，而不是因为一些薄弱的东西而被丢弃。

如果您在用户可能看到或使用它的地方使用这个随机字符串(例如作为密码生成器)，您可能希望限制用于排除元音的字符集。这样你就不会不小心说脏话，也不会冒犯别人。别笑，这是常有的事。

试试这个:

function generate_name ($length = LENGTH_IMG_PATH) {
    $image_name = "";
    $possible = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

    $i = 0;

    while ($i < $length) {

        $char = substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);

        if (!strstr($image_name, $char)) {
            $image_name .= $char;
            $i++;
        }
    }
    return $image_name;
}

试试这个，它可以生成到master的长度。但它简单，适合小字符串。

$master="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
$master_array = str_split($master);
shuffle($master_array);
print_r(implode("",array_slice($master_array,0,10)));
