README

Semiorbit Serial Number Generator is a PHP library to create a Serial Number of alphanumeric 16 random chars. It is mostly unique, depending on microtime() and mt_rand() functions converted to BASE 36. (So, it should be 100% unique for one server host as long as server time is accurate and not backward).
