Return a pseudo-random alpha or alphanumeric character
This method may be deprecated at some point, so it is preferable to use the
randomLetters()
or randomAlnum()
methods instead, when you can count on the PW version being 3.0.109 or higher.
Usage
// basic usage
$string = $password->randomAlpha();
// usage with all arguments
$string = $password->randomAlpha(int $qty = 1, bool $alphanumeric = false, array $disallow = []);
