try this

function randpassword () {

        $length = 6;

        srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

        $string = '';

        while(strlen($string) != $length)  {
                $type = rand(1,2);

                if ($letterammount = 4) {$type = 1;}
                if ($numammount = 2) {$type = 2;}

                if($type == 1) {
                                        $string = $string . chr(rand(48,57)); // 
numbers
                                        $numammount = ($numammount + 1);
                                   }
                if($type == 2) {
                                        $lettertype = rand(1,2);

                                      if($lettertype == 1) {$string = $string .
chr(rand(65,90));} // uppercase letters
                                        if($lettertype == 2) {$string = $string . 
chr(rand(97,122));} //
lowercase letters
                                        $letterammount = ($letterammount + 1);
                                   }
        }

        return($string);
}

hope that helps
