random_bytes() was introduced with PHP 7. So first check your php version.
You can use random_bytes() as a backport.

Call to undefined function Illuminate\Support\random_bytes()
Hello,
I receive this error message:
FatalErrorException in Str.php line 243: Call to undefined function Illuminate\Support\random_bytes()
public static function randomBytes($length = 16) { return random_bytes($length); }
line 243: return random_bytes($length);
I do not understand what's wrong since a working version laravel offline that extract online. It does not work online though. I wonder why?

The web host php version is 5.6 - I just have to wait a few day before I get it updated to php 7.0
Is there any other way to make it work without having to update to php 7?

a completely clean install of laravel 5.4 running under php 5.6 is currently broken... steps to reproduce... composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel test "5.4.*" - visit site.. Call to undefined function Illuminate\Support\random_bytes()
