[adam84]

function gen_number( $length ){
$time = time();
srand(date("s")); 
$possible_charactors = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; 
$code = ""; 
while(strlen($code)<$length)
    $code .= substr($possible_charactors, rand()%(strlen($possible_charactors)),1);
return $code;
}

function temp(){
 for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
    echo  gen_number( 5 ) . "<BR>";

Try:

<?php
function gen_number( $length, $rand ){
$time = time();
srand(date("s")); 
$possible_charactors = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; 
$code = ""; 
while(strlen($code)<$length)
     $code .= substr($possible_charactors, $rand%(strlen($possible_charactors)),1);
return $code;
}

function temp(){
  for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
     echo  gen_number( 5 , rand() ) . "<BR>";
}
?>
