                $pass="";
        while ($pass<>$thepass) {
                for($x=0;$x=7;$X++) {
                        $pass .= substr($garbage,(rand()%(strlen($garbage))),1);
                }

        function RandomPass($thelen) {
                srand(date("s"));
                $garbage="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
                $thepass="daniel"; //Missing the ";" here... classic mistake, easy to miss... been there a LOT of times.
                $pass="";
        while ($pass<>$thepass) {
                for($x=0;$x=7;$X++) {
                        $pass .= substr($garbage,(rand()%(strlen($garbage))),1);
                }
                        echo $pass
        }
    }
               
               
?>

also

for($x=0;$x=7;$X++) {


should be

for($x=0;$x=7;$x++) {


watch you cases, $x is different than $X

What is this loop supposed to do? $x=0;$x=7; ??

Is it supposed to be $x<7;?

hehe, I missed that one :)

I thought it might be some way cool programming concept I didn't know about :(

thanks for all the help guys , can anyone give me a site with some good basic source code for php that i can work off of, i am not very good with tutorials and i would rather work off of previously written source to learn new stuff and make new programs but i cant find any stuff with BASIC things,all of the programs i found were extremly complicated and hard to understand. I wrote this program from bits and a peices of another program that i found but that was the only one that i understood.. any help would be appreciated
