Hello,

I need to convert cgi code to php.

Here is the code in cgi:

Code:

$serial = time . $$ . $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} . $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT};
$serial =~ s/[^\d]//g;

This returns: 1142860071370361951741986650511801200601111501

I want to use similar code as php.

Many thanks for your advise and help.

Maybe something like this?

PHP Code:

<?php



$serial = time() . $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] . $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];

$serial = md5($serial);



echo $serial;



?>

Returns: 849724ef97bdb0c1a171381c5577dbaf

It's a bit shorter and contains letters as well. Is that a problem?

Well, thanks nico but I need the value as numeric. Md5 is not a good solution right now.

Ok. Got this from php.net, modified it a bit though.

PHP Code:

<?php



$length = 46;



while (count($nums) < 9)

{

    $nums[rand(0,9)] = NULL;

}



while (strlen($serial) < $length)

{

    $serial .= array_rand($nums);

}



echo $serial;



?>

Returns a 46 chars long random number. Like: 6499624330599873995573033607660027940755633378
