With the functions from "Anonymous" from 20th Nov, I really had the solution for my thing. One extra solution, in case of password checking etc on 'open source' programs where you can't set a fixed key, the input itself can also be the key! You will have this then (with the mentioned function): <? /* for encryption */ $input = "MyPassword"; $encrypted = Encrypt($input,$input); /* for decryption */ $decrypted = Decrypt($encrypted,$input); if ($decrypted == $input) { echo "Password correct!"; } ?> Very valuable!
