How to make an automatic code generator in codeigniter

Question

How to make an automatic code generator so that I can send it to a mobile using my API then verify it after checking in php codeigniter
My one related controller looks like:

 public function print_patientdetails($id,$veri,$phone,$username) {

     if($veri == 0){
         $verifycode = "12345";   // here I need an automatic code generator function
         $result['verifycode'] = "12345";//and here need to  keep the code and pass hidden throughout the pages 
         echo $this->sendverifymsg($phone, $verifycode);
         $result['query'] = $this->panel_model->hospitaldetails($sess_id);
         $result['query1'] = $this->register_model->view_register($phone, $username);

         $this->load->view('innerheader', $result);
         $this->load->view('verify', $result);
         $this->load->view('footer', $result); 
    }else{
        $sess_id = $this->session->userdata('id');
        $result['query'] = $this->panel_model->hospitaldetails($sess_id);
        $result['query1'] = $this->register_model->edit_patient($id);
        foreach ($result['query1'] as $row)
        {
            $phone = $row->phone;
            $username = $row->userid;
            $email = $row->email;

            $this->load->view('print_patientdetail', $result);
            echo $this->sendregistermsg($phone, $username);
            echo $this->mail($email, $phone, $username); 
        }
    }
}

Just use php uniqid() native function like this:

$verifycode = uniqid();

what i understood is you just need something which can generate a random code for you. if this is purpose you can use rand(0,99999); function which generates random numbers.

Moreover if you need that this random number should not b one from already generated then you can use db to store random numbers, enter it when it generates and at the time of new generating compare it with already stored random numbers.
