Random\Randomizer::getBytesFromString — Get random bytes from a source string
   Generates a string containing uniformly selected random bytes from the
   input string with the requested length.
  
   The chance for a byte to be selected is proportional to its share
   of the input string. If each byte occurs
   the same amount of times, each byte is equally likely to be selected.
  
   A string containing the requested number of random bytes taken from the input string.
  
string is empty,
     a ValueError will be thrown.
    
   length is less than 1,
     a ValueError will be thrown.

 Example #1 Random\Randomizer::getBytesFromString() example
<?php
$randomizer = new \Random\Randomizer();
printf(
    "%s.example.com",
    $randomizer->getBytesFromString('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789', 16)
);
?>Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:

Example #2 Generate a random code for multi-factor authentication
<?php
// The Secure engine is the default, but we make it explicit, because
// multi-factor codes are security sensitive.
$randomizer = new \Random\Randomizer(new \Random\Engine\Secure());
echo implode('-', str_split($randomizer->getBytesFromString('0123456789', 20), 5));

Example #3 Select from a string with a non-uniform distribution
<?php
$randomizer = new \Random\Randomizer();
echo $randomizer->getBytesFromString('aaaaabcdef', 20);
?>Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:
