I am trying to generate a random password in PHP.

If you ever have the need to create a random password or username you can use something like this.

function randomPassword($length) { 
  $possible = '0123456789!@#$%^&*()_+' . 
              'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' . 
              'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' . 
  $str = ""; 
  while (strlen($str) < $length) { 
     $str .= substr($possible, (rand() % strlen($possible)), 1); 
  } 
  return($str); 
}
