In many cases, a simple
uniqid(mt_rand(), true)will do to generate a random salt. Combined with Blowfish should give you a pretty good password hash.Alternatives are a pseudo random source such as
/dev/urandomoropenssl_pseudo_random_bytes(). There are also services that generate random data for you (based on radio-active degradation).
