intsize
boolstrong&false;
Generates a string of pseudo-random bytes.
&reftitle.parameters;
size
The desired token length, in terms of bytes.
strong
Setting to &true; means /dev/random will be used for
entropy, as otherwise the non-blocking /dev/urandom is used.
This parameter is ignored on Windows.
&reftitle.returnvalues;
The generated token, as a string of bytes.
&reftitle.errors;
If the strong parameter is &true;, then an
E_WARNING level error will be emitted when the
fallback rand implementation is used to fill
the remaining random bytes (e.g., when not enough random data was found,
initially).

fill the remaining random bytes using the internal PHP rand
implementation.
