I personally quite like the Shaun The Sheep video

- YouTube - Shaun the Sheep - Still Life.

On topic however, a quick search for "PHP password generator" would get you on track

. For example: PHP random password generator.

You could use uniqid() for something similar.

What you want is a unique identifier rather than just a randomly generated password - i.e. not only should your ID be random, it should be unique (because you don't want two objects identified with the same ID string):

Universally Unique Identifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
