PHPRandomValue
==============

[](#phprandomvalue)

PHPRandomValue is a PHP class for generating random values including numbers, text strings, and keys originally developed for use within the [AlpineAuth](https://github.com/ejfrancis/AlpineAuth) library.

Random numbers are generated using mcrypt\_create\_iv(4, MCRYPT\_DEV\_URANDOM). Random text strings and keys (including letters and characters) are created by choosing characters at random using the number generator.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install is using composer, with the following require:

`"ejfrancis/php-random-value": "dev-master"`

You can also download the classfile `RandomValue.php` and include it manually.

### Example Usage and Output
