Random Password script in PHP?

[mkaufman]

I am trying to create a random password script in PHP...I know there should be something like:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>
$random = "dsfajlfd23424sf";
[/code]

Then "dsfajlfd23424sf" would come out to something like: 2352dsf or something like that That is all I know so far.

Could someone please help me out? Thanks!

On my site I create random passwords like this:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>// create a random 32 characters long string
$random = md5 (uniqid (rand ()));
// take a 8 characters long substring as a password
$password = substr ($random, 0, 8);[/code]
