Wu-Name Name Generator creates a random name consisting of an adjective and a noun. For example, my Wu-Name is Drunken Conqueror.The PHP script uses two plain text files. One file holds all the adjectives. The other consists of all of the nouns. The script reads these files into two arrays. The PHP function file (filename) reads the filename file into an array with each line being an element of the array. Next, randomly pick an element from each array. However, I don’t want this to be totally random because your Wu-Name should not change each time you enter generate it. Thus, I start the random number generator with a seed number, which is based on the name entered. I use the PHP function srand (seed_number) to generate a random number. (This works just like the Perl function.) How to Generate the Seed Number. To generate the seed number, I take the name submitted and character by character convert it to its ASCII number, using the PHP function ord(chr). This would generate the same name for ab as it would ba, so to avoid that I multiply the ASCII number by its position in the name. Blunier Brodmann – Violent Mastermind
