You just have to create a list of characters [1] [2] and select it randomly.

code:

---

<?php

$charlist = (array_merge(
    range('0', '9'),
    range('a', 'z'),
    range('A', 'Z')
));

function pick_a_character() {
    global $charlist;
    return $charlist[rand(0, count($charlist) - 1)];
}

function create_code($length) {
    $o = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i ++)
        $o .= pick_a_character();
    return $o;
}

$code = create_code(12);
echo "The code is $code";

?>
