PHPRandomValue

PHPRandomValue is a PHP class for generating random values including numbers, text strings, and keys originally developed for use within the AlpineAuth library.

Random numbers are generated using mcrypt_create_iv(4, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM). Random text strings and keys (including letters and characters) are created by choosing characters at random using the number generator.

Installation

The recommended way to install is using composer, with the following require:

"ejfrancis/php-random-value": "dev-master"

You can also download the classfile RandomValue.php and include it manually.
