Function to generate Random Key
HERE is a function to generate a random key in PHP
$Length = number of digit of which you need to generate random key
function GenerateRandomKey($Length){
$random_chars="";
$characters = array(
"A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","J","K","L","M",
"N","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z",
"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9");
//make an "empty container" or array for our keys
$keys = array();
//first count of $keys is empty so "1", remaining count is 1-6 = total 7 times
while(count($keys) < $Length) {
//"0" because we use this to FIND ARRAY KEYS which has a 0 value
//"-1" because were only concerned of number of keys which is 32 not 33
//count($characters) = 33
$x = mt_rand(0, count($characters)-1);
if(!in_array($x, $keys)) {
$keys[] = $x;
}
}
foreach($keys as $key){
$random_chars .= $characters[$key];
}
return $random_chars;
}
Just pass the length parameter and will get random key generated
Example
echo $keygen = GenerateRandomKey(13);
OUTPUT
Every time you call the function and it would return a random key

You can make the key more complex by adding character and digits to $character array
Thanks
