com_create_guid — Generate a globally unique identifier (GUID)

Descripción

com_create_guid(): string|false

Generates a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).

A GUID is generated in the same way as DCE UUID's, except that the Microsoft convention is to enclose a GUID in curly braces.

Parámetros

Esta función no tiene parámetros.

Here's my final version of a GUIDv4 function (based on others work here) that should work on all platforms and gracefully fallback to less cryptographically secure version if others are not supported...

<?php
/**
 * Returns a GUIDv4 string
 *
 * Uses the best cryptographically secure method 
 * for all supported pltforms with fallback to an older, 
 * less secure version.
 *
 * @param bool $trim
 * @return string
 */
function GUIDv4 ($trim = true)
{
    // Windows
    if (function_exists('com_create_guid') === true) {
        if ($trim === true)
            return trim(com_create_guid(), '{}');
        else
            return com_create_guid();
    }

    // OSX/Linux
    if (function_exists('openssl_random_pseudo_bytes') === true) {
        $data = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);
        $data[6] = chr(ord($data[6]) & 0x0f | 0x40);    // set version to 0100
        $data[8] = chr(ord($data[8]) & 0x3f | 0x80);    // set bits 6-7 to 10
        return vsprintf('%s%s-%s-%s-%s-%s%s%s', str_split(bin2hex($data), 4));
    }

    // Fallback (PHP 4.2+)
    mt_srand((double)microtime() * 10000);
    $charid = strtolower(md5(uniqid(rand(), true)));
    $hyphen = chr(45);                  // "-"
    $lbrace = $trim ? "" : chr(123);    // "{"
    $rbrace = $trim ? "" : chr(125);    // "}"
    $guidv4 = $lbrace.
              substr($charid,  0,  8).$hyphen.
              substr($charid,  8,  4).$hyphen.
              substr($charid, 12,  4).$hyphen.
              substr($charid, 16,  4).$hyphen.
              substr($charid, 20, 12).
              $rbrace;
    return $guidv4;
}
?>

The phunction PHP framework (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phunction/) uses the following function to generate valid version 4 UUIDs:

<?php

function GUID()
{
    if (function_exists('com_create_guid') === true)
    {
        return trim(com_create_guid(), '{}');
    }

    return sprintf('%04X%04X-%04X-%04X-%04X-%04X%04X%04X', mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(16384, 20479), mt_rand(32768, 49151), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535), mt_rand(0, 65535));
}

?>

The output generated by the sprintf() and mt_rand() calls is identical to com_create_guid() results.

Use more cryptographically strong algorithm to generate pseudo-random bytes and format it as GUID v4 string

function guidv4()
{
    if (function_exists('com_create_guid') === true)
        return trim(com_create_guid(), '{}');

    $data = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);
    $data[6] = chr(ord($data[6]) & 0x0f | 0x40); // set version to 0100
    $data[8] = chr(ord($data[8]) & 0x3f | 0x80); // set bits 6-7 to 10
    return vsprintf('%s%s-%s-%s-%s-%s%s%s', str_split(bin2hex($data), 4));
}

If you're going to generate random UUIDs, at least make them conform:

* The uppermost byte of the third stanza must be 4
* the uppermost byte of the fourth stanza may be any of (8 9 a b)
