      You can check with this script:

      <?php
      function unique_id()
      {
      	return bin2hex(random_bytes(8));
      }
      function gen_rand_string($num_chars = 8)
      {
      	// [a, z] + [0, 9] = 36
      	return substr(strtoupper(base_convert(unique_id(), 16, 36)), 0, $num_chars);
      }
      for($i=0; $i<50; $i++)
          var_dump(gen_rand_string($i)).PHP_EOL;
      
      

      Output:

      string(0) ""
