// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$success = 0;

$fortuna = new COM("Chilkat.Prng");

// Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include at least one digit (0-9)
$bDigit = 1;

// Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include both uppercase and lowercase chars.

// The generated password must contain one of the following non-alphanumeric chars.
$otherChars = '@#$%*';

// Exclude chars that appear similar to others:
$excludeChars = 'iIlLoO0';

// Generate 8-character passwords:

for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    print $fortuna->randomPassword(8,$bDigit,$bUpperAndLower,$otherChars,$excludeChars) . "\n";
