That's normally not called a number (though it could be base 36 or similar).

Your question is not very clear. Can you give some more information, what 
you want to do with your "random" "number", and how the id argument should 
influence possible results, e. g. can the possible outcomes of 
random_number(x) and random_number(y) overlap for x != y?
