If the string you are encrypting via md5() is short, is it very easy to break via brute forcers. This problem can be solved by making your own encryption with md5() and strrev() several times. <?php function md5x($var) { return strrev(md5(md5(strrev(md5("$var"))))); } ?> Use your imagination to make your own encryption this way. Just make sure you use the same encryption everywhere on your site, so the output will be the same. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43655 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43655&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43655&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
