我试图在PHP中创建一个随机字符串,我得到绝对没有输出:

<?php
    function RandomString()
    {
        $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
        $randstring = '';
        for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
            $randstring = $characters[rand(0, strlen($characters))];
        }
        return $randstring;
    }

    RandomString();
    echo $randstring;

我做错了什么?

一条线的解决方案是

str_shuffle(base64_encode(date('mdyhis').date('mdyhis')));

其他回答

实现这个函数的更好方法是:

function RandomString($length) {
    $keys = array_merge(range(0,9), range('a', 'z'));

    $key = "";
    for($i=0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $key .= $keys[mt_rand(0, count($keys) - 1)];
    }
    return $key;
}

echo RandomString(20);

mt_rand在PHP 7中更加随机。rand函数是mt_rand的别名。

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。

  // generate a basic password with just alphabetic characters

使用random_bytes函数生成加密安全的随机字节。

$bytes = random_bytes(16);
echo bin2hex($bytes);

可能的输出

da821217e61e33ed4b2dd96f8439056c

使用openssl_random_pseudo_bytes函数生成伪随机字节。

$bytes = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);
echo bin2hex($bytes);

可能的输出

e2d1254506fbb6cd842cd640333214ad

最好的用例是

function getRandomBytes($length = 16)
{
    if (function_exists('random_bytes')) {
        $bytes = random_bytes($length / 2);
    } else {
        $bytes = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($length / 2);
    }
    return bin2hex($bytes);
}
echo getRandomBytes();

可能的输出

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()

来自yii2框架

/**
 * Generates a random string of specified length.
 * The string generated matches [A-Za-z0-9_-]+ and is transparent to URL-encoding.
 *
 * @param int $length the length of the key in characters
 * @return string the generated random key
 */

function generateRandomString($length = 10) {
    $bytes = random_bytes($length);
    return substr(strtr(base64_encode($bytes), '+/', '-_'), 0, $length);
}
