PHP random unique identifier

Question

In the construction of our booking system client can view their bookings online. At the moment the URL of their page is created as a sequential number. So /booking1, /booking2, /booking3 etc...

I'd rather have unique name a bit like the JSFiddle way of doing it. A series of letters and numbers.

Is that possible?

Not exactly. And I also did not get a simple answer that I could work with. Thanks for the vote — Walrus

Because at the time it answered the initial question but on further development their had to be an easier way of doing it. Thanks for the vote — Walrus
