[PHP]Random Password Generator..

[Jme]

Having some trouble generating the random pass, Anyone have any ideas?

<?php
function random_pass($length)
{
    $chars = "abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";
    $pass = "";
    $charlength = strlen($chars);
    $randchar = rand()%($charlength);
    while(0<$length)
    {
        $pass = substr($chars, $randchar, 1);
    }
    return($pass);
}
$password = random_pass(7);
echo("" . $password . "");
?>

That's just a prototype to test the function.
It's basically meant to loop through until there are 7 characters in the pass string but it keeps giving the error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/jclabz/public_html/pass.php on line 10

and

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/jclabz/public_html/pass.php on line 8

Been trying to debug it for about an hour starting to annoy me alot now.

Sounds like it's taking too long to create the 7 chars, you could just make a class

[RYANNNNN]

set_timeout_limit(0);

[Jme]

set_timeout_limit(0);

You mean set_time_limit?
That doesn't do anything cept change the timeout from 30 to 0?

    $pass = "";
    $charlength = strlen($chars);
   
$i=0;
    while($i<$length)
    {
$randchar = rand()%($charlength);
        $pass = substr($chars, $randchar, 1);
$i++;
    }
    return($pass);
}
$password = random_pass(7);
echo("" . $password . "");
?>

Genius haha I think it was the incrementer that was needed for it to function properly :] i had to add a . on $pass .=""; so it would add to it rather than replace it but cheers for sorting that out for me :]
