RE: Help needed
Your best bet would be to use a UUID:
SELECT UUID();
+--------------------------------------+
| uuid() |
+--------------------------------------+
| c712dc72-718d-102b-b3c8-97395a1766b9 |
+--------------------------------------+
There are equivalents in various programming languages, although not in PHP.
