try this:

 

<?php
class test{
public $key;

  function test ( ) {
    $this->key = $this->keygen();
  }

  function keygen($length={
    $letters='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
    for($i=0; $i<$length; $i++) $key.=$letters{rand(0,61)};
    echo 'asdf';
    return $key;
  }
}
$mybox = new test();
echo $mybox->key;
?>

<?class test{
public $key;

function __construct() {
  $this->key=$this->keygen();
}

private function keygen($length={
  $letters='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
  for($i=0; $i<$length; $i++) $out.=$letters{rand(0,61)};
  return $out;
}
}

$mybox = new test();
echo $mybox->key;
?>
