Google "PHP Random Password Generation." You'll get lots of useful results

Here is a one possibility:

//list of possible password characters
$chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX YZ0123456789!@#$%^*_-+=?|:";

//length of the password to be generated
$length = 8;

//generate the password
for($i = 0; $i<$length; $i++) {
$Rand = rand(0, strlen($chars)-1);
$pwd .= substr($chars, $Rand, 1);
}
