PHP: Pronounceable password generator

[RFH Reseller: nick]

I wrote this a while back, I bet there are cleverer ways, but this little function has done me proud.

function generatePass($length=8, $include_numbers=false)
{     
    $vowels = array("a", "e", "i", "o", "u"); 
    $cons = array("b", "c", "d", "g", "h", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "p", "r",
                    "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "tr", "cr", "br", "fr", "th", "dr",
                          "ch", "ph", "wr", "st", "sp", "sw", "pr", "sl", "cl"); 
     
    $num_vowels = count($vowels); 
    $num_cons = count($cons); 
    
    $pre=$post=$password='';

    if($include_numbers){
        while( (($length/(strlen($pre) + strlen($post)+1)) > 2) ) {        
            if(rand(0,1)===0) {
                $pre .= chr(rand(48,57));
            } else {
                $post .= chr(rand(48,57));
            }
        }
    }
    
    $string_length = $length -  (strlen($pre) + strlen($post));
    while(strlen($password)<$string_length){ 
        $password .= $cons[rand(0, $num_cons - 1)] 
                  .$vowels[rand(0, $num_vowels - 1)]; 
    } 
    return $pre.substr($password, 0, $string_length ).$post;  
} 

Usage:
Specify the desired length of password, and whether you want it to include some numbers. The amount of numbers will depend upon the total password length and will be place both at the begining and end of the password.

Examples:

echo(generatePass(5)); 

outputs something like:

kotra

echo(generatePass(5, true)); 

outputs something like:

9beg3

Done - you can do this yourself if you go into Advanced Edit as opposed to inline AJAX editting.

Nice code
