Tutorial made by MillerTime
Well we all know how to do random numbers. If you dont you go like this.
Or you can set limits
Now i have compile this little function to get a random assortment of letters any number of letters and any letter.
Here it is. Now im just writing this up right now actually and checking it tomorrow cuz its late right now but it should work.
So pretty much all this does is get the random letter and add that letter to the rest of the string
Here is something to randomize arrays. its actually really simple.
That was pretty much the tutorial and if you have anything else you would like me to figure out how to randomize. Drop a line at millertime.1247 [at] gmail [dot] com

I may add a tutorial on how to randmize things in an array but you can probably figure it out.

Code :
// hide source code
// hide line numbers
// hide source code
// hide line numbers

2 <?
3 $num = rand(3, 25); //that would keep the number between 3 and 25

4 $str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";//The letters that are going to be gotten randomly..can be changed, i just used the abc's
5 $num = strlen($str);//get the length of the string above
6 $max = 1; /* change to the number of letters you want to get
7 NOTE: the letters will be consecutive if the number is change. like if its is two then it might be "rs"*/
8
9 for($i=1;$i<$letters;$i++){ //lets start a for loop for the number of letters there are
10 $let[$i] = rand(1, $num); //get a random letter for the position of if in $str
11 $letter[$i] = substr($str, $let[$i], $max); //get the letter after getting randomized
12 $string .= $string . $$letter[$i]; //add the letter to the rest of the string
13 }
14 return $string; //return string
15 }

4 $randomize = randLetters($num_letters); //call the function
5 echo $string; //output the result
