I need to come up with a way to make a user 10 digit unique ID string. The ID must not already be in the DB, if you know how please help.
Hi Russell,
Have a look at uniqid() which should do what you want (assuming that numbers and letters are OK) - a neat thing to do is to use strtoupper() and just take the last 10 characters, for example:
$userID = substr(strtoupper(uniqid()),-10)
Hope this helps! Cheers, David.
