PHP function to generate v4 UUID

Question

So I\'ve been doing some digging around and I\'ve been trying to piece together a function that generates a valid v4 UUID in PHP. This is the closest I\'ve been able to come

Answer 1

Use Symfony Polyfill / Uuid
Then you can just generate uuid as native php function:

$uuid = uuid_create(UUID_TYPE_RANDOM);

More about it, read in official Symfony blop post - https://symfony.com/blog/introducing-the-new-symfony-uuid-polyfill
