To save the value and ensure it doesn't change when the page is refreshed, you'll need to store it somewhere persistent, such as in the database or session.
Are you working on admin side, or catalog?

Save the token in the database:

If you're setting the value in the admin settings, you will typically save this in the setting table of OpenCart. If you're using the admin settings controller, there is usually a save function that saves all the settings into the database.

Retrieve the token from the database:

Use $this->config->get('your_setting_key') to get the value from the database.

Here's how you can adapt your code:

Code: Select all

// Check if the token exists in the database settings
$secret_token = $this->config->get('secret_token');

if (!$secret_token) {
    // If it doesn't exist, generate a new one
    $secret_token = bin2hex(random_bytes(14));

    // Save the generated token in the database
    $this->load->model('setting/setting');
    $this->model_setting_setting->editSettingValue('your_module_name', 'secret_token', $secret_token);
}

$data['secret_token'] = $secret_token;

I want to generate a random value for the password. I'm using below code:

Code: Select all

        if (!isset($this->config->get['secret_token'])) {
            $random_number = bin2hex(random_bytes(14));
            $data['secret_token'] = $random_number;
        }

Value will be generated But when the page is refreshed will generate a new one. How can save the first value and not change it when the page is refreshed?

oc 3.0.3.8

if (!isset($this->config->get['secret_token'])) {
	$random_number = bin2hex(random_bytes(14));
	
	$this->session->data['secret_token'] = $random_number;
}

if (isset($this->session->data['secret_token'])) {
	$data['secret_token'] = $this->session->data['secret_token'];
	
	unset ($this->session->data['secret_token']);
} else {
	$data['secret_token'] = '';
}

Why not to do like?
