function generateRandomString($length = 15)
{
    return substr(sha1(rand()), 0, $length);
}

哒哒！

@tasmaniski:你的答案对我有用。我也有同样的问题，我想把它推荐给那些一直在寻找同样答案的人。以下是来自@tasmaniski的留言:

<?php 
    $random = substr(md5(mt_rand()), 0, 7);
    echo $random;
?>

这是一个youtube视频，向我们展示如何创建一个随机数

请尝试这个函数来生成一个自定义的随机字母数字字符串:

<?php
  function random_alphanumeric($length) {
    $chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ12345689';
    $my_string = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
      $pos = random_int(0, strlen($chars) -1);
      $my_string .= substr($chars, $pos, 1);
    }
    return $my_string;
  }
?>

你可以通过将字符串的长度传递给函数来调整结果，如下所示:

  $test_with_50_items = random_alphanumeric(50); // 50 characters
  echo $test_with_50_items;

示例(test_with_50_items): Y1FypdjVbFCFK6Gh9FDJpe6dciwJEfV6MQGpJqAfuijaYSZ86

如果你需要超过50个字符或更少，只需按你喜欢的方式调用函数:

  $test_with_27_items = random_alphanumeric(27); // 27 characters
  echo $test_with_27_items;

如果你需要两个或更多唯一的字符串，你可以使用while循环，这样你肯定会得到两个唯一的字符串…你可以用更多的弦做同样的事情，唯一的限制是你的幻想……

  $string_1 = random_alphanumeric(50);
  $string_2 = random_alphanumeric(50);
  while ($string_1 == $string_2) {
    $string_1 = random_alphanumeric(50);
    $string_2 = random_alphanumeric(50);
    if ($string_1 != $string_2) {
       break;
    }
  }
  echo $string_1;
  echo "<br>\n";
  echo $string_2;

$string_1： KkvUwia8rbDEV2aChWqm3AgeUZqyrRbUx2AxVhx5s4TSJ2VwA4

$string_2： XraO85YfxBBCInafvwipSOJwLmk6JMWiuWOxYQDnXohcn2D8K6

根据PHP 8.3, random_int()是“默认安全的”

短的方法。

这里有一些生成随机字符串的最短方法

<?php
echo $my_rand_strng = substr(str_shuffle("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), -15); 

echo substr(md5(rand()), 0, 7);

echo str_shuffle(MD5(microtime()));
?>

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。

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…
