Note Submitter: nathan at nathanbolender dot com ---- If you're a security freak you might want to take a look at the 2 functions I have posted at http://code.nathanbolender.com/PHP/salt_pepper/ . It uses a hardcoded "key" and hashes it one of 2 ways, so you are always left with a random 'hash' to store in your database. The other function will check the hash against the original string to make sure that it is correct. If you want to see an example of the debug output you can at http://code.nathanbolender.com/PHP/salt/ . Note that on that page the "key" is random only to demonstrate the possibility for so much variations. I know that a simple md5() would normally be enough, but I came up with this and I wanted to share it.
