Using "\003" instead of "\c" makes it work like a charm .. even with the older printf.

UNIQID(3) 1 UNIQID(3)
uniqid - Generate a unique ID
SYNOPSIS
string uniqid ([string $prefix = ""], [bool $more_entropy = false])
DESCRIPTION
Gets a prefixed unique identifier based on the current time in microseconds.
Warning
This function does not create random nor unpredictable strings. This function must not be used for security purposes. Use a cryp-
tographically secure random function/generator and cryptographically secure hash functions to create unpredictable secure IDs.
PARAMETERS
o $prefix
- Can be useful, for instance, if you generate identifiers simultaneously on several hosts that might happen to generate the iden-
tifier at the same microsecond. With an empty $prefix, the returned string will be 13 characters long. If $more_entropy is TRUE,
it will be 23 characters.
o $more_entropy
- If set to TRUE, uniqid(3) will add additional entropy (using the combined linear congruential generator) at the end of the
return value, which increases the likelihood that the result will be unique.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the unique identifier, as a string.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
uniqid(3) Example
<?php
/* A uniqid, like: 4b3403665fea6 */
printf("uniqid(): %s
", uniqid());
/* We can also prefix the uniqid, this the same as
* doing:
*
* $uniqid = $prefix . uniqid();
* $uniqid = uniqid($prefix);
*/
printf("uniqid('php_'): %s
", uniqid('php_'));
/* We can also activate the more_entropy parameter, which is
* required on some systems, like Cygwin. This makes uniqid()
* produce a value like: 4b340550242239.64159797
*/
printf("uniqid('', true): %s
", uniqid('', true));
?>
NOTES
Caution
This function does not generate cryptographically secure tokens, in fact without being passed any additional parameters the return
value is little different from microtime(3). If you need to generate cryptographically secure tokens use openssl_ran-
dom_pseudo_bytes(3).
Note
Under Cygwin, the $more_entropy must be set to TRUE for this function to work.
