Auto Generate a unique random product reference number

[Ezequielb 0]

Hello,

I need to use this function to generate a ramdon product reference number for PS 1.7.6.x. I need to assign this number to products in database as unique. How should  I get this done?

//Function to get random alphanumeric code

function random_code() 
{ 
  
    // String of all numeric characters 
    
   $start_letter = str_shuffle('ABCD');
   $number = str_shuffle('0123456789');
   $letter = str_shuffle('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ');    
      
  return substr(($start_letter), 0, 1).substr(($number), 0, 4).'-'.substr(($letter), 0, 1); 
} 

echo random_code(); 
 

// Result is a random number like: A6789-M

Hi,

Did you find your answer? What is the code you used and what file? I need the same thing . To make it unique, i selected the table ps_product in phpmyadmin and make it UNIQUE.
