How it works

• With the current time the ID's are always unique in a single process.
• With the Process ID the ID's are unique even if called at the same time from multiple processes.
• With the MAC Address the ID's are unique even if called at the same time from multiple machines and processes.

uniqid() -> "4n5pxq24kpiob12og9"
