/dev/urandom error (permission denied by webhost)

I am using function:

private function random($len) {
        if (@is_readable('/dev/urandom')) {
            $f=fopen('/dev/urandom', 'r');
            $urandom=fread($f, $len);
            fclose($f);
        }

        $return='';
        for ($i=0;$i<$len;++$i) {
            if (!isset($urandom)) {
                if ($i%2==0) mt_srand(time()%2147 * 1000000 + (double)microtime() * 1000000);
                $rand=48+mt_rand()%64;
            } else $rand=48+ord($urandom[$i])%64;

            if ($rand>57)
                $rand+=7;
            if ($rand>90)
                $rand+=6;

            if ($rand==123) $rand=52;
            if ($rand==124) $rand=53;
            $return.=chr($rand);
        }
        return $return;
    }

I have some forms which trigger this function and I get the error:

int(2) string(200) "is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/dev/urandom) is not within the allowed path(s):

Is there a way to replace this function and not to use /dev/urandom ? Thank you very much.
