note 104947 added to function.hash

Hello, the explaination of your example is in wrong order! Your code: <?php function THashAndCrypt($input) { return str_rot13(base64_encode(hash('sha512', $input))); } function TdeCrypt($input) { return str_rot13(base64_decode($input)); } ?> Your explaination: This function takes your password, uses the rot13 method to jumble the text. Then it encodes it into a long jumbled base64 string. Finally, it is encrypted with SHA512. But PHP is working on your string in THIS order: 1. $input is encrypted with sha512. 2. Resulting Hash will be base64 encoded. 3. The base64 string will be str_rot13. 4. The secret will be returned as string. And THAT order - like you said - will (hopefully) make it difficult for an attacker to determinate how the heck you did the encryption. ;) ---- Server IP: 217.160.235.204 Probable Submitter: 217.232.0.68 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.hash.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104947 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104947/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104947/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104947/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104947/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104947/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104947/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104947 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104947 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
