there is no passwordgenerator available in php, so i thought i would present mine in here....
Its just a simple function which you could change how you want it........

// function-call
//$digits = amount of chars the password should have (between 4 and 29)
//$c = if true, I,i,L,l will be changed to 1 and O or o will be changed to 0 (Zero) to prevent mistakes by an userinput
//$st = string to "U" = upper, "L" = lower, null=casesensitive

function generate_password($digits,$c,$st)
{
if(!ereg("^([4-9]|((1|2){1}[0-9]{1}))$",$digits)) // 4-29 chars allowed
$digits=4;
for(;;)
{
$pwd=null; $o=null;
// Generates the password ....
for ($x=0;$x<$digits;)
{
$y = rand(1,1000);
if($y>350 && $y<601) $d=chr(rand(48,57));
if($y<351) $d=chr(rand(65,90));
if($y>600) $d=chr(rand(97,122));
if($d!=$o)
{
$o=$d; $pwd.=$d; $x++;
}
}
// if you want that the user will not be confused by O or 0 ("Oh" or "Null")
// or 1 or l ("One" or "L"), set $c=true;
if($c)
{
$pwd=eregi_replace("(l|i)","1",$pwd);
$pwd=eregi_replace("(o)","0",$pwd);
}
// If the PW fits your purpose (e.g. this regexpression) return it, else make a new one
// (You can change this regular-expression how you want ....)
if(ereg("^[a-zA-Z]{1}([a-zA-Z]+[0-9][a-zA-Z]+)+",$pwd))
break;
}
if($st=="L") $pwd=strtolower($pwd);
if($st=="U") $pwd=strtoupper($pwd);
return $pwd;
}

$PASSWORD=generate_password(6,true,null);

have fun ... ;-)
