一个完整的解决方案(课程加测试)，部分基于上面的一些建议…

class TokenFactory
{
    private const LENGTH = 12;
    private const ALLOWED = '123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ~!@#$%^&*{}';
    private const MIN_NUMBER_OF_DIGITS = 1;

    private const MIN_NUMBER_OF_LETTERS = 1;

    /**

     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function make(): string
    {
        $pass = $this->generateToken();

        if ($this->isTokenValid($pass)) {
            return $pass;
        } else {
            return $this->make();
        }
    }

    /**
     * @return string
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    private function generateToken(): string
    {
        $allowedCharacters = self::ALLOWED;
        $token              = '';
        $max               = mb_strlen($allowedCharacters, '8bit') - 1;
        for ($i = 0; $i < self::LENGTH; ++$i) {
            $token .= $allowedCharacters[random_int(0, $max)];
        }
        return $token;
    }

    /**
     * @param $token
     * @return bool
     */
    private function isTokenValid($token): bool
    {
        $numberOfDigits   = preg_match_all("/[0-9]/", $token);
        $numberOfCaps     = preg_match_all("/[A-Z]/", $token);
        $numberOfSpecials = preg_match_all("/[~!@#\$%^&*{}]/", $token);
        $numberOfLetters  = preg_match_all("/[a-z]/", $token);

        return
            $numberOfDigits > self::MIN_NUMBER_OF_DIGITS
            && $numberOfCaps > self::MIN_NUMBER_OF_CAPS
            && $numberOfSpecials > self::MIN_NUMBER_OF_SPECIALS
            && $numberOfLetters > self::MIN_NUMBER_OF_LETTERS
            ;
    }
}

class TokenFactoryTest
{
    public function test_correct_syntax()
    {
        /**
         * Arrange
         */
        $length = 12;
        $numberOfChecks = 1000;

        /**
         * Act & Assert
         */
        $class = new TokenFactory();

        $i = 0;
        while ($i < $numberOfChecks) {
            $generatedToken = $class->make();

            $numberOfDigits = preg_match_all( "/[0-9]/", $generatedToken );
            $numberOfCaps = preg_match_all( "/[A-Z]/", $generatedToken );
            $numberOfSpecials   = preg_match_all("/[~!@#\$%^&*{}]/", $generatedToken);
            $numberOfLetters   = preg_match_all("/[a-z]/", $generatedToken);

            Assert::assertEquals($length, strlen($generatedToken));
            Assert::assertTrue($numberOfDigits >= 1, 'Digit error: ' . $generatedToken);
            Assert::assertTrue($numberOfCaps >= 1, 'Caps error: ' . $generatedToken);
            Assert::assertTrue($numberOfSpecials >= 1, 'Specials error: ' . $generatedToken);
            Assert::assertTrue($numberOfLetters >= 1, 'Letters error: ' . $generatedToken);

            $i++;
        }
    }
}

顺便说一句，请确保在适合您需要的地方捕获该异常!

/**
 * @param int $length
 * @param string $abc
 * @return string
 */
function generateRandomString($length = 10, $abc = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
{
    return substr(str_shuffle($abc), 0, $length);
}

在这种方法中，您可以在创建时选择字符长度。

<?php
    $random_string = "";
    $character_count = 12;
    for($i=1; $i <= $character_count; $i++)
    {
        $random_string .= chr(rand(97, 122));
    }
    echo $random_string;
?>

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

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

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。

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。
