Demonstrates how to generate random passwords.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// All Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program
// by calling UnlockBundle.  It requires a Bundle unlock code.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Global')
$chilkatGlob = new COM("Chilkat.Global");
$success = $chilkatGlob->UnlockBundle('Anything for 30-day trial.');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $chilkatGlob->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Prng')
$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.
$bUpperAndLower = 1;

// 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";
}
