I had it figured out!! Don't need to decrypt it. Instead, I can encrypt the account number by javascript. Grab the unencrypted account number. Put it into two variable, encrypt the first one with PHP and match it by Javascript. If accept then I use the 2nd variable to grab the data from the data and put it into the sessions. This will take care of the problem with my other project.... Cheers!!!!! Thanks, Scott F. "Brad Pauly" <brad@robinsontech.com> wrote in message news:1043271786.1236.34.camel@earth... > > Hi!
