Getting Blank Results on Generating Blank Password Script

[FirstBorn]

Hi,

 

Thank you for your help.

 

I have a script that I'm running that is supposed to

generate a random 16 character number (can be changed,)

but the results when going to print it display nothing.

 

<?php

function generate_passwd($length = 16) {
  static $chars = 'abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789';
  $chars_len = strlen($chars);
  for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
    $password .= $chars[mt_rand(0, $chars_len - 1)];
  return $password;

}

?>

 

What am I missing here?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Thanks,

FirstBorn

  $chars_len = strlen($chars);
  for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)

 

$chars_len != $length

use { }  instead of [ ] when treating a string like an array
