PHP in Visual Studio Code: Generate Unique Token

Today, you will learn how to generate unique token in PHP and Visual Studio Code.

I will show you two methods to generate token in PHP:
– one method is old and not very secure
– the other is more recent and provides higher security, as you can define the length of the token

The longer the token or string, the more secure it is.

You can use this token, for example, to allow a user to reset the password. You will create a unique link and toke and email it to the user.
If the token is correct and is still valid, then the user can change his password.

Token in PHP are very useful and easy to generate!

I use Visual Studio Code or VS Code as my PHP and HTML code editor.

I use XAMPP and Chrome browser to test the results.
