Re: encrypt and decrypt in standard PHP

You could use popen() to execute http://gnupg.org or PGP... It would be easier to recompile PHP, though, and performance on popen() is going to suck. You *might* be able to compile just the encryption module, and use dl("mcrypt.so") in your PHP script to load it up rather than recompile all of PHP, but again, it's going to be harder, and performance will suffer. Compiling PHP the *second* time is *way* easier than the first time, especially if you've saved your previous PHP source tree and all the other source trees -- There's a file in the PHP source tree called config.status, and some other config.* files, that "remember" what you did last time. So, copy those somewhere safe, and then look at them. You'll probably be able to copy config.status to config.zhu, and then edit that to add --with-mcrypt (or whatever it is), and do: chmod 755 config.zhu ./config.zhu -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out?
