How easy would it be to make a “Time-based UUID” following your example shown above? I believe they are version 1 uuid’s?

It uses libuuid, which is a sort-of-a-standard library for uuids. If speed is important, I think this is a good choice.

Hello,

I used your code as a basis for a UUID class in the framework I’m writing.

http://coreforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=3

I actually use them as both session ids, and encryption keys for the session handler:

http://coreforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=1

As for storing them, I use a postgres domain to hold them:

CREATE DOMAIN “UUID” AS character(38) DEFAULT ‘{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}’::bpchar
CONSTRAINT “UUID_check” CHECK ((VALUE ~ ‘^{[0-9A-F]{8}-[0-9A-F]{4}-[0-9A-F]{4}-[0-9A-F]{4}-[0-9A-F]{12}}$’::text));

They are stored in between brackets, similar to how Windows does it.

I have chosen a somewhat different approach for the generation of the random positions, by plainly generating multiple random numbers, each responsible for part of the string.

I was looking for some GUID support for php. Its a shame that its not part of the core. You think something like this would be needed by enough people to consider it Thanks for putting this together.
