Can someone create a 3 second script and show me how it works?

Ok,

I need a .php script that randomly generates 4digits in a row 9times with a dash in between each 4 digit set. The digits must be random and from a-z from 1-9 for any one of the chars in every set.

Then I just need it to output the value please give me a hand this is something I need to know.

EDIT: 1111-2222-3333-4444-5555-6666-7777-8888-9999 style.

why do you need this again?

personal project ;)

<?php function get_rand_id(36) { if($length>0) { $rand_id=""; for($i=1; $i<=$length; $i++) { mt_srand((double)microtime() * 1000000); $num = mt_rand(1,36); $rand_id .= assign_rand_value($num); } } return $rand_id; } ?>

Here is the script now what should I echo to print it out?

People generally are not going to write scripts for you…

however this interested me (slightly) so i wrote a script (2.5 mins)

<?php
srand(time());
$options[0] = "a";
$options[1] = "b";
$options[2] = "c";
$options[3] = "d";
$options[4] = "e";
$options[5] = "1";
$options[6] = "2";
$options[7] = "3";
$options[8] = "4";
$count = count($options);
echo "<br />";
$sect=0;
$unit=0;
$string="";
while ($sect<10){
while ($unit<4){
$random = (rand()%$count);
$string.=$options[$random];
$unit+=1;
}
$string.="-";
$unit=0;
$sect+=1;
}
echo "Your id code is: ".$string;
?>
