Or even better, find a simpler alternative for generating GUIDs.  The 
approaches Walt mentioned work extremely well.

If you need a unique ID, there are built-in, easy ways to do this.

Using the built-in PHP function uniqid()
http://us2.php.net/uniqid

Using built-in sessions to generate a session_id()
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-id.php

Using Apache's module mod_unique_id.
Once enabled the ID is accessible as $_SERVER['UNIQUE_ID']
