loop probably really easy

Hi,I am stuck with this random password generator I want it to create a random password for every entry in my database but when I submit the code it does the same random password for all the entries.

 

code:

// random password gen

function createRandomPassword() {

    $chars = "abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz023456789";
    srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
    $i = 0;
    $pass = '' ;

    while ($i <= 7) {
        $num = rand() % 33;
        $tmp = substr($chars, $num, 1);
        $pass = $pass . $tmp;
        $i++;
    }

    return $pass;

}

// set new password for all
$password = createRandomPassword();
$q1 = "update members set password = '$password'";

 

Probably really easy, hope some one can help thanks.!!

$pass = $pass . $tmp;

 

should be...

 

$pass = $tmp;

@thropre- why ??? He/She wants a 7 chars long string I guess, not 1 char.

 

Seems ok to me...

Try removing the srand() line, using srand() is not really needed since php seeds the rand() function itself.

 

Orio.

the code works but it set's all the passwords to only 1 random generated password I want every entry to have its own random password, do not have a clue how to do it though.

 

Thanks
