UUID

[Guest]

I wish the computer to make a UUID instead everytime someone registers rather than have an increment of 1. How is this accomplished in a lets say a register form. I made one from dreamweaver something simple. Here is the MySQL...

CREATE TABLE `uuid` (
`uuid` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`firstName` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`lastName` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`uuid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

My form is in the attach code.

I am getting an error.

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know how to create a PHP UUID?

[Guest]

Through much search on the web I found a way to get a UUID.

Underneath my <?php require_once('../Connections/conPHPSamples.php'); ?>
I have placed the following...
<?php $registerUIID = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)); ?>

And for my form which has a hidden uuid field the old code was as such...
<input type="hidden" name="uuid" value="<?php echo 'com_create_guid()';?>">

The new code...
<input type="hidden" name="uuid" value=" <?php echo $registerUIID; ?> ">

It seems to work, so if anyone sees anything wrong with this code please let me know.

It will generate for all the pdf file or it is an optional?

Thanks in advance,
