Have you ever wanted to generate MAC-Adresses in PHP?

PHP-MAC-adress-generator

Have you ever wanted to generate MAC-adresses in PHP? This is a very simple script that I thought someone might find useful.

Installation

Download the file "randomMac.php" or the whole repository and include the file into your project. You can do so by using:

include "randomMac.php";

or

require "randomMac.php";

Alternatively you can copy the whole code into your script where you need it.

Usage

Basic usage

To get your random MAC-adress, just call the function like this:

randomMac():

In most cases you probaply would like to output your freshly generated MAC-adress or modify it further. You can output the MAC-adress using echo:

echo randomMac();

Or assign it to a variable:

$foo = randomMac():

Delimeters

You can change the delimeter by using the parameter when calling the function. By default the delimeter is a colon (":") See some examples below.

randomMac();
randomMac(" ");
randomMac("-");
randomMac(".");
randomMac("");

would result in

57:17:37:3B:59:40

27 B3 07 00 EA 9F

41-75-FE-74-B3-F6

E6.CF.57.CF.5B.AB

Conclusion

As you can see, it's very simple. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me :)

php-mac-generator's Issues

Add feature for other dot-formats

Some people and programs write MAC-addresses like this:
6F-A2-AE-3D-84-7E

or like this:

8E6530CDBE2F

Add the functionality to change the delimiter.
