你的代码有3个问题:

$randstring没有赋值给任何东西(只在超出作用域的函数内部)。 RandomString只返回最后一个随机字符。用。=替换=。 Rand不生成加密安全的伪随机数。请改用random_int。

见下文:

<?php
    function RandomString()
    {
        $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
        $randstring = '';
        for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
            $randstring .= $characters[random_int(0, strlen($characters))];
        }
        return $randstring;
    }
    $randstring = RandomString();
    echo $randstring;

在这种方法中，您可以在创建时选择字符长度。

<?php
    $random_string = "";
    $character_count = 12;
    for($i=1; $i <= $character_count; $i++)
    {
        $random_string .= chr(rand(97, 122));
    }
    echo $random_string;
?>

function generateRandomString($length = 10, $hasNumber = true, $hasLowercase = true, $hasUppercase = true): string
{
    $string = '';
    if ($hasNumber)
        $string .= '0123456789';
    if ($hasLowercase)
        $string .= 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
    if ($hasUppercase)
        $string .= 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    return substr(str_shuffle(str_repeat($x = $string, ceil($length / strlen($x)))), 1, $length);
}

和使用:

echo generateRandomString(32);

<?php
    /**
     * Creates a random string
     *
     * @param (int) $length
     *   Length in characters
     * @param (array) $ranges
     *   (optional) Array of ranges to be used
     *
     * @return
     * Random string
    */
    function random_string($length, $ranges = array('0-9', 'a-z', 'A-Z')) {
        foreach ($ranges as $r) $s .= implode(range(array_shift($r = explode('-', $r)), $r[1]));
        while (strlen($s) < $length) $s .= $s;
        return substr(str_shuffle($s), 0, $length);
    }

    // Examples:
    $l = 100;
    echo '<b>Default:</b> ' . random_string($l) . '<br />';
    echo '<b>Lower Case only:</b> ' . random_string($l, array('a-z')) . '<br />';
    echo '<b>HEX only:</b> ' . random_string($l, array('0-9', 'A-F')) . '<br />';
    echo '<b>BIN only:</b> ' . random_string($l, array('0-1')) . '<br />';

/* End of file */

实现这个函数的更好方法是:

function RandomString($length) {
    $keys = array_merge(range(0,9), range('a', 'z'));

    $key = "";
    for($i=0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $key .= $keys[mt_rand(0, count($keys) - 1)];
    }
    return $key;
}

echo RandomString(20);

mt_rand在PHP 7中更加随机。rand函数是mt_rand的别名。

function getRandomString($length) {
  $salt = array_merge(range('a', 'z'), range(0, 9));
  $maxIndex = count($salt) - 1;

  $result = '';
  for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
    $index = mt_rand(0, $maxIndex);
    $result .= $salt[$index];
  }
  return $result
}
