Is there a method for decrypting encrypted things by md5?No. MD5 is a one-way hash, *not* a form of encryption. A hash is specifically designed so that it is impractical to find the input string, given the output string. If you need to encrypt/decrypt, look at the mcrypt extension and use 3DES or one of the other symmetrical encryption algorithms. HTH, --Joe
