Hmm... That's quite a different thing and unless I read your original post wrong I don't think this part was mentioned. But in any case a few questions. 1. When you say "on my system in unencrypted form" do you indeed mean you want data that can be encrypted and then unencrypted as opposed to a hash like md5() that cannot be reversed? (I only ask this because a lot times people use them synonymously when they should not.) 2. This isn't a question really but I spoke with my friend google (maybe you two have met?) and he said this "http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/encryption.html". hth, Chris. -- Don't like reformatting your Outlook replies?
