note 21613 added to function.md5

Hi everybody, A way of partially securing your script so that a username/password combination is not visible immediatelly is to use the one-way-only encryption of md5. For example, using HTTP Authentication with PHP in this way: if ( md5($PHP_AUTH_USER) !='21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc5' || md5($PHP_AUTH_PW) !='f70d11f8ad83b6f913115426098d2712' ) { // force authentication ..... exit; } could help you to protect the actual username and password from a person that can read the PHP script.
