Functions

maskRandomString()

Replaces a string value with a random anonymized string.

maskRandomString(mixed $value) : mixed

Implements the conventional randomString masker: only string values are modified — any other type (number, boolean, null) is returned unchanged. The replacement keeps the original length (with a minimum of 1).

The replacement is random, not a reversible hash of the input — the goal is anonymization, not byte-compatibility with any external tool.

Parameters
$value : mixed

The original value.
