I think rand() should be called with explicit arguments, otherwise a number is returned between 0 and getrandmax() and getrandmax() is platform-dependent. On the other hand maybe the token could be generated as the room ID for multiplayer. Then a fixed length string would be generated - I used bin2hex(random_bytes(3)) for room ID. I guess it was intentional to use integer indexes in the DB, it could be be more efficient but I already used string indexes for other purpose.

Good point. However I don't think it would cause any problems. I thought it would be better to use 4 byte length integers instead of 3 bytes for more possible ids, because challenges are normally not getting deleted. Good point.

I've read your comment again, and I see that bin2hex returns a string. Yes I thought it would perform better just to use an integer instead. I've read your comment again, and I see that bin2hex returns a string. Yes I thought it would perform better just to use an integer instead.
I can also see now, that on Windows the getrandmax() is only 32767, which is far too small. I am going to replace it with mt_rand() if that's fine for you.

PHP's builtin ctype_xdigit could be used for that. PHP's builtin [ctype_xdigit](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-xdigit.php) could be used for that.

Maybe a do..while would be better here because the token calculation should not be repeated.
My eye is twitching when variables are used outside of the scope of {}, but it's different in PHP, so it can be refactored.
