Random string with .html at the end

[Xanco]

Hello peoples.

 

Right, this is what I'm trying to do; I'm trying to make a php script that generates a html file. I've almost got it. I just need to finish giving the html file a name. The name will be a random number, but I need it to have .html at the end (obviously). Anybody know how I can do that?

 

Here's what I tried (might give you some idea of what I'm doing):

 $file = rand()AND".html";
 $file = rand()+".html";
 $file = rand()".html";

 

 - Thanks, Xanco

I don't like rand because it can produce the same result. If I'm creating a "random" file name I'll usually use something like this:

 

$fileName = md5( time() . ' some crazy string just to keep the hackers on their toes ' );

echo $fileName . '.html';
