Re: credit card purchase and downloads

is that really secure? I just thought if for any reason, someone can get into my database, they can't just add usernames and file ids to my table and have access. I thought if I md5 it, then it'll be more secured. would 1 table for username-fileid really be fine? thanks, Sia Quoting Stut <stuttle@gmail.com>: > siavash1979@telus.net wrote: > <snipped a confusing idea> > > Any idea if this is a good way to do this or not? any better suggestions? > is > > this secured? > > I'm confused.
