Oops sorry, this line is supposed to read:
$passfirst = randomGen($length-3, 1);
>>$passend = randomGen(3, 0);
$pass = $passfirst.'-'.$passend;
return $pass;

Subject: [PHP] Random letter/number passwords
Hi,
I have this code below which is supposed to be generating a password like
QCCQCN2-IUZ with 10 characters - All but three in the first section (7) and
three in the last part - but does not work in all cases. Sometimes it prints
LPSA3WD-IM or G22G2G9-FC.
Is there a catch in the code that will stuff up in certain circumstances?
Please help,
Matt stone
