Alternatively, if it's under apache on *nix you could install
mod_unique_id to generate a unique id for you. According to Module mod_unique_id manual:
Your website has one or more machines under your administrative control, together we'll call them a cluster of machines. Each machine can possibly run multiple instances of Apache. All of these collectively are considered "the universe", and with certain assumptions we'll show that in this universe we can generate unique identifiers for each request, without extensive communication between machines in the cluster. and The UNIQUE_ID environment variable is constructed by encoding the 112-bit (32-bit IP address, 32 bit pid, 32 bit time stamp, 16 bit counter) quadruple using the alphabet A-Za-z0-9@- in a manner similar to MIME base64 encoding, producing 19 characters. hth, Deliria
