hi there,

I want to generate 6 character membership number, i can't figure it out how to do it.
i found this code from php.net, but not sure how to use?😟

<?php
function randomAlphaNum($length){

    $rangeMin = pow(36, $length-1); //smallest number to give length digits in base 36
    $rangeMax = pow(36, $length)-1; //largest number to give length digits in base 36
    $base10Rand = mt_rand($rangeMin, $rangeMax); //get the random number
    $newRand = base_convert($base10Rand, 10, 36); //convert it
   
    return $newRand; //spit it out

}
?>

can someone please help.

Hi shirzuis,

No it won't work in CFv3; but there is an article from the ChronoForms book uhere that uses the almost same code in ChronoForms v3.
