I’m currently searching for a good way to generate a unique random number for SEPA transactions (End-to-End reference) with 27 digits in PHP. My requirements are:
- Must be unique
- Only int values, no letters
- Length of 27 digits
- Use an user id and time to make the ID unique
I’ve tried this solution here but this only gives me a string with letters and numbers:
md5( uniqid( mt_rand(), true ) );
Does anyone has a lightweight solution or idea?

echo $bira = date('YmdHis').rand(1000000000000,9000000000000); echo "<br/>"; echo strlen($bira);
Add the time stamp in the front, so it will be unique always.
OR echo $bira = time().rand(10000000000000000,90000000000000000);
