This question already has an answer here:
I'm using php 5.6.23-0+deb8u1 and in my code I want use the function random_bytes
but I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function random_bytes()
I want to know if I need to import something or isn't included in this version of php, in this case, how can I replace it?
</div>
random_bytes() was introduced with PHP 7.
As stated in the manual:
Note: Although this function was added to PHP in PHP 7.0, a » userland implementation is available for PHP 5.2 to 5.6, inclusive.
You can use that userland implementation as a backport: https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat
