I'm just getting familiar with encryptions, and I would also note that you do NOT want to decrypt if your using remote hosting that supports php. In doing such I would assume that you are in essense sending your private key out to the net where the decrypted data being returned to you could be intercepted and security would be compromised. By decrypting on YOUR machine/server running php, you should be secure!?#$? I guess I'll have to get my VB6 out :o Much more reading to do!! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-public-encrypt.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33437 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33437&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33437&report=yes
