Today I had cause to write a simple Alphanumeric string generator. I thought I’d share it with y’all.

It’s really just a couple of functions. One takes a length parameter, the other returns a random character. The first function called the other until it’s built a random string of characters that is the length of the parameter you passed. Here’s the link to generate a random 16 character string:

If you’d like to download this script (it’s in PHP) you can grab it here. It’s pretty well commented and should be self-explanatory. Do with it what you want!
