HI
Whats the best way to create a random name for a folder?
Its going to be used for a folder name to store documents. But lots of folders are going to be created and so need it to be unique each time if possible.
Length should probably be around 7 characters.
If it needs to be unique, then I would forget about it being random and just increment a counter. If you need to associate the contents of the folders with records in a database, all the better. You can just have an autoincrement column in your database and use it as part of the folder name.
