PHP Script failing on new host?

[burgo855]

Hi,

 

Hopefully i can get some help on this.

 

Basically i have made a script that generates a pin. But since using a new webhost half of the script doesn't seem to work. Its only generating the first three parts:

<?php

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=pin");
header("Content-Length: 28");

echo '0000001002' . date("Ymd") .("0011") .randomNumber(06);

function randomNumber($length) {
$str = '';
for ($i=0; $i < $length; $i++) {
	$str .= rand(0,9);
}

return $str;
}

 

The random 6 numbers do not seem to generate? Does anyone know why this new host is making the scripts random number generation fail?

 

Thanks.

I'm not sure what would cause it to fail, but you don't need that function to generate a random 6 digit number. You can use this instead:

echo '0000001002' . date("Ymd") .("0011") .rand(100000,999999);

Must be something running in the background that alters it with the new host. Ill have to ask them.

 

I had the random number like that because i guess i made this script when learning php...

 

Thanks.

Is the PHP version the same as your previous host?

Shouldn't be a issue, but try placing the function before it's called. Generally you should be able to place a function anywhere and have it work, but worth a try.
