srand? Fatal error: Call to undefined function 1352483998() line 31

This code has worked for ages so am not sure what is wrong now.
Line 31 is the srand line:

Code:

//function

function generatePassword($length=6,$level=2){



   list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());

   srand((float) $sec   ((float) $usec * 100000));



   $validchars[1] = "23456789abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz";

   $validchars[2] = "23456789abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ";

   $validchars[3] = "23456789_!@#$%&*()-= /abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ_!@#$%&*()-= /";



   $password  = "";

   $counter   = 0;



   while ($counter < $length) {

     $actChar = substr($validchars[$level], rand(0, strlen($validchars[$level])-1), 1);



     // All character must be different

     if (!strstr($password, $actChar)) {

        $password .= $actChar;

        $counter  ;

     }

   }



   return $password;



}

I added a + and now the script times out on this line:

while ($counter < $length) { $actChar = substr($validchars[$level], rand(0, strlen($validchars[$level])-1), 1);

The error was my host's web editor saves the files and strips operators...at least strips the + operator from all code!!!!!

if used in GET/POST, + is the replacement for a space character. your host’s web editor is just missing the escaping of sent content (I guess this is done through AJAX, as a regular form submit would take care of that).

So keep your dev files locally, edit in notepad++ and upload via FTP.
