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

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。

我想要特定字符和预设长度的伪随机字符串。我希望当前版本的PHP具有最高质量的伪随机性，此时它可以是v5、v6、v7或v8，并且可以使用默认配置或特殊配置。为了解决这种混乱，我在这里选取了其他几个答案，并包含了函数可用性条件。

使用。要全局使用它，给$VALID_ID_CHARS赋值你想要的字符，然后调用它:

$VALID_ID_CHARS = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
$myNewRandomId = makeId(6);

function makeId($desiredLen)
{
    global $VALID_ID_CHARS;
    if ($desiredLen < 1) {
        throw new \RangeException("Length must be a positive integer");
    }
    $vLen = 0;
    if (function_exists('mb_strlen')) {
        $vLen = mb_strlen($VALID_ID_CHARS, '8bit') - 1;
    } else {
        $vLen = strlen($VALID_ID_CHARS) - 1;
    }
    if (function_exists('random_int')) {
        $pieces = [];
        for ($i = 0; $i < $desiredLen; ++$i) {
            $pieces[] = $VALID_ID_CHARS[random_int(0, $vLen)];
        }
        return implode('', $pieces);
    }
    if (function_exists('openssl_random_pseudo_bytes')) {
        $random = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($desiredLen);
        $id = '';
        for ($i = 0; $i < $desiredLen; ++$i) {
            $id .= $VALID_ID_CHARS[ord($random[$i]) % $vLen];
        }
        return $id;
    }
    http_response_code(500);
    die('random id generation failed. either random_int or openssl_random_pseudo_bytes is needed');
}

这一个是从管理员来源:

/** Get a random string
* @return string 32 hexadecimal characters
*/
function rand_string() {
    return md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true));
}

管理员，用PHP编写的数据库管理工具。

这段代码将帮助:

此函数将返回长度在$maxLength和$minLength之间的随机字符串。

注意:函数random_bytes从PHP 7开始工作。

如果你需要特定的长度，那么$maxLength和$minLength必须相同。

function getRandomString($maxLength = 20, $minLength = 10)
{
    $minLength = $maxLength < $minLength ? $maxLength : $minLength;
    $halfMin = ceil($minLength / 2);
    $halfMax = ceil($maxLength / 2);
    $bytes = random_bytes(rand($halfMin, $halfMax));
    $randomString = bin2hex($bytes);
    $randomString = strlen($randomString) > $maxLength ? substr($randomString, 0, -1) : $randomString;
    return $randomString;
}
