Check whether passthru() is disabled

Recommend throwing exception if passthru is not available.

Thanks for the bug report. There is currently a work-around for this that you can implement in the meantime, while I'm working on a solution for this in the library.

• Create a new FeatureSet class that extends FeatureSet and overrides the buildNodeProvider() method to return a RandomNodeProvider. The RandomNodeProvider generates a random string to act as the "node," since you're unable to make the system call to get its node.

class MyFeatureSet extends \Ramsey\Uuid\FeatureSet
{
    protected function buildNodeProvider()
    {
        return new \Ramsey\Uuid\Provider\Node\RandomNodeProvider();
    }
}

• Instantiate a UuidFactory with your feature set and set that factory as the one to use when generating UUIDs:

$uuidFactory = new \Ramsey\Uuid\UuidFactory(new MyFeatureSet());
\Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid::setFactory($uuidFactory);

• Now, when you generate version 1 UUIDs, it will use the RandomNodeProvider as a substitution for the node:

$uuid = \Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid::uuid1();

This work-around will work well. In the meantime, I'll think through approaches for how to handle this internally in the library.

Thanks!

Looks good! Thank you for the response.

No problem!

I'm reopening the issue to track this issue as an enhancement to provide better checking of whether passthru() is enabled.

I have a solution for this that will be available in the next 3.x release. Thanks!
