PHP生成随机密码的4种方法及性能对比
使用php开发应用程序，尤其是网站程序，常常需要生成随机密码，如用户注册生成随机密码，用户重置密码也需要生成一个随机的密码。随机密码也就是一串固定长度的字符串，这里我收集整理了几种生成随机字符串的方法，以供大家参考。
方法一：
1、在 33 – 126 中生成一个随机整数，如 35，
2、将 35 转换成对应的ASCII码字符，如 35 对应 #
3、重复以上 1、2 步骤 n 次，连接成 n 位的密码

该算法主要用到了两个函数，mt_rand ( int $min , int $max )函数用于生成随机整数，其中 $min – $max 为 ASCII 码的范围，这里取 33 -126 ，可以根据需要调整范围，如ASCII码表中 97 – 122 位对应 a – z 的英文字母，具体可参考 ASCII码表； chr ( int $ascii )函数用于将对应整数 $ascii 转换成对应的字符。

方法二：
1、预置一个的字符串 $chars ，包括 a – z，A – Z，0 – 9，以及一些特殊字符
2、在 $chars 字符串中随机取一个字符
3、重复第二步 n 次，可得长度为 n 的密码

方法三：
1、预置一个的字符数组 $chars ，包括 a – z，A – Z，0 – 9，以及一些特殊字符
2、通过array_rand()从数组 $chars 中随机选出 $length 个元素
3、根据已获取的键名数组 $keys，从数组 $chars 取出字符拼接字符串。该方法的缺点是相同的字符不会重复取。

方法四：
本方法是本文被蓝色理想转载后，一名网友提供的一个新方法，算法简单，代码简短，只是因为md5()函数的返回值的缘故，生成的密码只包括字母和数字，不过也算是一个不错的方法。算法思想：
1、time() 获取当前的 Unix 时间戳
2、将第一步获取的时间戳进行 md5() 加密
3、将第二步加密的结果，截取 n 位即得想要的密码

时间效率对比
我们使用以下PHP代码，计算上面的 4 个随机密码生成函数生成 6 位密码的运行时间，进而对他们的时间效率进行一个简单的对比。

最终得出的结果是：
方法一：9.8943710327148E-5 秒
方法二：9.6797943115234E-5 秒
方法三：0.00017499923706055 秒
方法四：3.4093856811523E-5 秒
可以看出方法一和方法二的执行时间都差不多，方法四运行时间最短，而方法三的运行时间稍微长点。
