Php code to generate Ethereum wallets

Question

I want to generate Ethereum wallets for users in the network and as it a web based app, I want to use php or web3 for it. I want to generate private and public keys as well.. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You can use web3.eth.accounts in web3js

web3.eth.accounts.create();

With Php, you can try something like this:

newAccount = '';

$web3->personal->newAccount('123456', function ($err, $account) use(&$newAccount) {

    if ($err !== null) {

        echo 'Error: ' . $err->getMessage();

        return;

    }

    $newAccount = $account;

    echo 'New account: ' . $account . PHP_EOL;

});
