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;
}

具体回答这个问题，有两个问题:

当你回显$randstring时，它不在作用域内。 字符在循环中没有连接在一起。

以下是更正后的代码片段:

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

用下面的调用输出随机字符串:

// Echo the random string.
// Optionally, you can give it a desired string length.
echo generateRandomString();

请注意，这个答案的以前版本使用rand()而不是random_int()，因此生成可预测的随机字符串。因此，根据这个答案的建议，它被更改为更安全。

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。

static public function generatePassword($length=12, $mixedCase=true, $numericCount=2, $symbolCount=1, $allowAmbiguous=false, $allowRepeatingCharacters=false)
{
  // sanity check to prevent endless loop
  if ($numericCount + $symbolCount > $length) {
    throw new \Exception('generatePassword(): $numericCount + $symbolCount are too high');
  }

  // generate a basic password with just alphabetic characters
  $chars  = 'qwertyupasdfghjkzxcvbnm';
  if ($mixedCase) {
    $chars .= 'QWERTYUPASDFGHJKZXCVBNML';
  }
  if ($allowAmbiguous) {

  }

  $password = '';
  foreach (range(1, $length) as $index) {
    $char = $chars[random_int(0, strlen($chars) - 1)];

    if (!$allowRepeatingCharacters) {

        $index = random_int(0, strlen($password) - 1);
      }

      $char = $chars[random_int(0, strlen($chars) - 1)];
      if (!$allowRepeatingCharacters) {
        while (substr($password, $index - 1, 1) == $char || substr($password, $index + 1, 1) == $char) {
          $char = $chars[random_int(0, strlen($chars) - 1)];
        }
      }

      $password[$index] = $char;
      $takenSubstitutionIndexes[] = $index;
    }
  }

  // add symbols
  $chars = '!@#$%&*=+?';
  if ($allowAmbiguous) {
    $chars .= '^~-_()[{]};:|\\/,.\'"`<>';
  }

  if ($symbolCount > 0) {
    foreach (range(1, $symbolCount) as $_) {
      $index = random_int(0, strlen($password) - 1);
      while (in_array($index, $takenSubstitutionIndexes)) {
        $index = random_int(0, strlen($password) - 1);
      }

      $char = $chars[random_int(0, strlen($chars) - 1)];
      if (!$allowRepeatingCharacters) {
        while (substr($password, $index - 1, 1) == $char || substr($password, $index + 1, 1) == $char) {
          $char = $chars[random_int(0, strlen($chars) - 1)];
        }
      }

      $password[$index] = $char;
      $takenSubstitutionIndexes[] = $index;
    }
  }

  return $password;
}

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()

$pass = "";
for ($i=0;$i<12;++$i)
  $pass.= ($r=mt_rand(0,35))<26?chr(ord('a')+$r):chr(ord('0')+$r-26);

函数作用域中的$randstring与调用它的作用域不相同。你必须把返回值赋给一个变量。

$randstring = RandomString();
echo $randstring;

或者直接回显返回值:

echo RandomString();

另外，在函数中有一个小错误。在for循环中，您需要使用.=，以便每个字符都被追加到字符串中。通过使用=，您将用每个新字符覆盖它，而不是追加。

$randstring .= $characters[rand(0, strlen($characters))];
