Or should I base64_encode each item and then decode on the way back out. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Yes, you still need to use addslashes() or mysql_escape_string() on the encrypted data string. It will not mess up the encryption. Encrypted or not, it's still a string and special characters need to be escaped. -- ---John Holmes...
