This is just something I made while looking into MD5 and SHA-1, how they can be exploited, and whatnot. /** * crypto - Generates a hash made up of 40 letters and digits * by passing a source variable through a custom algorithm. * First it determines the CRC32, customizable crypt, and MD5 * hashes for the source variable, and implodes them into one * string. This string can be seperated by another customizable * salt variable. Finally the SHA-1 hash of the original source * variable is calculated, with the imploded string appended * to the end of the source variable. */ function crypto($source){ $salt[0] = "something here!"; // Limit this to 16 characters $salt[1] = "abcd"; // Limit this to 8 characters $crypt[0] = crc32($source); $crypt[1] = crypt($source, $salt[0]); $crypt[2] = md5($source); $crypt = implode($salt[1], $crypt); return sha1($source.$crypt); } It works really well if you need a secure, custom hashing function. I hope it works for whatever you use it for! ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 70.66.98.187 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70258 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70258/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70258/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70258/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70258/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70258/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70258/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70258 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70258 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
