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;
?>

你可以试试这个:

<?php
    function random($len){

        $char = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';

        // ----------------------------------------------
        // Number of possible combinations
        // ----------------------------------------------
        $pos = strlen($char);
        $pos = pow($pos, $len);
        echo $pos.'<br>';
        // ----------------------------------------------

        $total = strlen($char)-1;
        $text = "";

        for ($i=0; $i<$len; $i++){
            $text = $text.$char[rand(0, $total)];
        }
        return $text;
    }

    $string = random(15);
    echo $string;
?>

您也可以准时使用md5，但要小心。

您需要使用microtime()而不是time()函数，因为如果多个线程在同一秒内运行，则需要为所有线程获取不同的字符串。

<?php

    $string = md5(microtime());
    echo $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

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

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');
}
