actually  i just want to know how to do a simple password generator.

because for my system, the user just need to enter username and email in registration form...

then admin will approve it and the system will generate the password for that user...

admin will send the password to the user's email...then, user just login with that password...

 

btw, thanks for that link..

U can generate a password a number of ways.

 

lets try a simple one eh

function generatepw($length = 6)
{
   $allowed = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()_-+=";
  $password='';
   for($i=0;$i<$length;$i++)
       $password .= substr($allowed,rand(0,strlen($allowed)-1),1);
   return $password;
}

 

very simple method
