Adam,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, you've got the gist of what I am trying to do.
Basically I'm generating the number using the following script:
//set the random id length
$random_id_length = 8;
//generate a random id and store it in $rnd_id
$rnd_id = (uniqid(rand(),1));
//remove any slashes that might have come
$rnd_id = strip_tags(stripslashes($rnd_id));
//Removing any . or / and reversing the string
$rnd_id = str_replace(".","",$rnd_id);
$rnd_id = strrev(str_replace("/","",$rnd_id));
//finally I take the first 10 characters from the $rnd_id
$rnd_id = substr($rnd_id,0,$random_id_length);
The user then chooses what level of support they want, and a two letter
option from the drop down needs to go in front of the number, (I'm using the
switch, case method to drop the right letters in). The entire ID is then
inserted into MySQL & e-mailed to the user.
It seemed like a good idea until I ran into the problem I have outlined!
I'll experiment with your suggestions.
Regards,
Nick.
