I am working on a function that generates a valid v4 UUID in PHP. This function generates a valid v4 UUID up until one area. A v4 UUID should be in the form of:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Where y is 8, 9, A, or B. This is where the functions fail as it doesn't adhere to that.
The function is as follows:
<?php
function gen_uuid() {
$uuid = array(
'time_low' => 0,
'time_mid' => 0,
'time_hi' => 0,
'clock_seq_hi' => 0,
'clock_seq_low' => 0,
'node' => array()
);
$uuid['time_low'] = mt_rand(0, 0xffff) + (mt_rand(0, 0xffff) << 16);
$uuid['time_mid'] = mt_rand(0, 0xffff);
$uuid['time_hi'] = (4 << 12) | (mt_rand(0, 0x1000));
$uuid['clock_seq_hi'] = (1 << 7) | (mt_rand(0, 128));
$uuid['clock_seq_low'] = mt_rand(0, 255);
for ($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++) {
$uuid['node'][$i] = mt_rand(0, 255);
}
$uuid = sprintf('%08x-%04x-%04x-%02x%02x-%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x',
$uuid['time_low'],
$uuid['time_mid'],
$uuid['time_hi'],
$uuid['clock_seq_hi'],
$uuid['clock_seq_low'],
$uuid['node'][0],
$uuid['node'][1],
$uuid['node'][2],
$uuid['node'][3],
$uuid['node'][4],
$uuid['node'][5]
);
return $uuid;
}
?>
Can someone help me complete this function?
