OAuthProvider::generateToken

(PECL OAuth >= 1.0.0)

OAuthProvider::generateTokenGenerate a random token

설명

final public static string OAuthProvider::generateToken ( int $size [, bool $strong = false ] )

Generates a string of pseudo-random bytes.

인수

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.

반환값

The generated token, as a string of bytes.

오류/예외

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).

When not enough random data is available to the system, this function will fill the remaining random bytes using the internal PHP rand() implementation.

Be careful when setting the 'strong' parameter to true.

If you system doesn't have enough entropy your script will block which can cause timeouts in other parts of your code.

In my case, the most serious symptom was my script blocking when trying to read from /dev/random and causing a 'MySQL has gone away' error.

Hopefully this saves someone the trouble when deciding to use /dev/random entropy
