Yeah. I thought that afterwards - the random number thing on its own would
work - I guess I'll just use the MD5 hash to generate a seemingly more
random code - not really using it for its proper usage, but it will do the
job.

Cheers

Guy

Guy,

Yes, that should work just fine.  Of course, you don't really need to hash
the number since it's already random.  But it'll work, nonetheless.
