uniqid

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

uniqidGenerate a unique ID

Descrierea

string uniqid ([ string $prefix = "" [, bool $more_entropy = false ]] )

Gets a prefixed unique identifier based on the current time in microseconds.

Avertizare

This function does not create random nor unpredictable strings. This function must not be used for security purposes. Use a cryptographically secure random function/generator and cryptographically secure hash functions to create unpredictable secure IDs.

Parametri

prefix

Can be useful, for instance, if you generate identifiers simultaneously on several hosts that might happen to generate the identifier at the same microsecond.

With an empty prefix, the returned string will be 13 characters long. If more_entropy is TRUE, it will be 23 characters.

more_entropy

If set to TRUE, uniqid() will add additional entropy (using the combined linear congruential generator) at the end of the return value, which increases the likelihood that the result will be unique.

Valorile întoarse

Returns the unique identifier, as a string.

Exemple

Example #1 uniqid() Example

<?php
/* A uniqid, like: 4b3403665fea6 */
printf("uniqid(): %s\r\n"uniqid());

/* We can also prefix the uniqid, this the same as 
 * doing:
 *
 * $uniqid = $prefix . uniqid();
 * $uniqid = uniqid($prefix);
 */
printf("uniqid('php_'): %s\r\n"uniqid('php_'));

/* We can also activate the more_entropy parameter, which is 
 * required on some systems, like Cygwin. This makes uniqid()
 * produce a value like: 4b340550242239.64159797
 */
printf("uniqid('', true): %s\r\n"uniqid(''true));
?>

Istoria schimbărilor

Versiunea Descriere
5.0.0 The prefix parameter was made optional.
4.3.1 The limit of 114 characters long for prefix was raised.

Note

Precauţie

This function does not generate cryptographically secure tokens, in fact without being passed any additional parameters the return value is little different from microtime(). If you need to generate cryptographically secure tokens use openssl_random_pseudo_bytes().

Notă:

Under Cygwin, the more_entropy must be set to TRUE for this function to work.
