I want to generate password randomly and send to mysql database using PHP..i have got the following function for generating password but doesn't know how to incorporate in my registration form and where to call that function and update password field in database..please help me..

	function generatePassword ( $length = 8 ) {	// start with a blank password	$password = “”;	// define possible characters	$possible = “0123456789abcdefghijkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ!@#$%^&*”;	// set up a counter	$i = 0;	// add random characters to $password until $length is reached	while ($i < $length) {	// pick a random character from the possible ones	$char = substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);	// we don’t want this character if it’s already in the password	if (!strstr($password, $char)) {	$password .= $char;	$i++;	}	}	// done!	return $password;	}
