RE: [PHP] encrypting (low level)

http://php.net/crypt With crypt, you need to use a salt, it s a 2 byte string that you choose. So it would be like this: $crypted = crypt('8chars..','sa'); Remember, crypt is one way. MD5() is a better one way hash IMO. You can hash more than 8 characters. -jeremy brand http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more --------------------------------------------------------------------- We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once. -- Calvin Coolidge On Tue, 14 Nov 2000, Sven-Emil Vaara wrote: > Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 13:46:02 -0500 > From: Sven-Emil Vaara <svaara@aitcom.net> > To: 'jeremy brand' <jeremy@nirvani.net> > Subject: RE: [PHP] encrypting (low level) > > How would it be done.... > > $passwd = crypt("uncrypted password"); ?? > > Sven-Emil Vaara > >
