note 59327 added to function.md5

Scrambling the md5 adds no security, because it only adds obscurity. md5 is a reasonably strong hash function, although it's recently been shown to be weaker than previously thought. If hashing your password with md5 isn't good enough for you, then you should use a stronger hash like Tiger instead -- not apply amateurish obfuscation that only serves to give you a false sense of security. I don't know of an implementation of Tiger for PHP, but the algorithm is pretty simple (and secure) so you could probably write it in plain PHP code. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59327 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59327&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59327&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59327&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59327&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59327&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59327&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59327&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59327&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
