php doubts how to generate ten random passwords

PHP 7 has a function called random_bytes that you use by converting from binary to hex, generates a string similar to what you want.

<?php
// Usando a função random_bytes do PHP 7
for ($x = 1; $x <= 10; $x++) 
{
    echo bin2hex(random_bytes(3)) . "<br>"; // gera uma string pseudo-randômica criptograficamente segura de 6 caracteres
} 
?>

Output example (changes every time you run the script):

eb5a35
ce5121
d5c514
e4eec4
48d781
52367c
ae39cd

But if you still do not use PHP7 or you did not like the hexadecimal option used by the existing function in PHP7, an interesting technique I saw in Stack Overflow in English and adapted here is using str_shuffle , a function that shuffles strings randomly. This function is present in PHP from PHP 4 .

<?php


// Usando str_shuffle (mistura strings aleatoriamente)
for ($x = 1; $x <= 10; $x++) 
{

    //Inclua todos os caracteres que gostaria que aparecessem nas strings geradas
    $caracteres_q_farao_parte = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';

    $password = substr( str_shuffle($caracteres_q_farao_parte), 0, 6 );     

    echo $password . "<br>";

} 


?>

Output example (will come out different every time the script is run):

yc7dj6
g57rt0
prwgdn
hctvog
d2l0cq
r78fp1
0z6c4e

If you really care about " exaggeratedly" "you should safely use LibSodium , he it has both features, to generate and to convert to hexadecimal, I'm answering this based on what I replied here .

for($gerar = 10; $gerar > 0; $gerar--){
    echo \Sodium\bin2hex( \Sodium\randombytes_buf(3) );
}

The original% of PHP, as responded by @Antonio Alexandre, is vulnerable to side-channel attacks, while bin2hex is more resistant and this type of attack.

Here is a solution

     function randomPassword() {
        $alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890';
        $pass = array(); 
        $alphaLength = strlen($alphabet) - 1; 
        for ($i = 0; $i < 8; $i++) {
            $n = rand(0, $alphaLength);
            $pass[] = $alphabet[$n];
        }
        return implode($pass); 
    }

  for ($x = 1; $x <= 10; $x++) {
      echo randomPassword() .'<br>';
    }
