Any ideas

lilRachie

I have made this code to make a random letter number combinations, but it's not putting it on the page

//random generater
function randPass($len)
{
$pw = '';//intialize to be blank
for($i=0;$i<$len;$i++)
{
switch(rand(1,4))
{
case 1: $pw.=chr(rand(48,57)); break; //0-9
case 2: $pw.=chr(rand(65,90)); break; //A-Z
case 3: $pw.=chr(rand(48,57)); break; //0-9
case 4: $pw.=chr(rand(97,122)); break; //a-z
}
}
return $pw;
}

//Generates 8 characters
$name = randPass(8);

$image = $_POST['$name'];

?>
<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><center>
<? echo $image ?>
</center></body></html>

😕
TIA

Where is this coming from?

$image = $_POST['$name'];

A previous page?

Or should you be echoing $name, not the $_POST Array value...

lilRachie

$name come from the random function
I tried to echo $name but it was blank, so i tried
$image = $_POST['$name'];
that too is blank

Tracer

$_POST['name'] should be empty unless you have defined a form or hyperling on the pregvisous page which sets this value.

try to just echo $name; and see what displays....
