[SOLVED] Encryption

[pugboy]

I have seen a few examples, but I have no clue to to adapt them for my usage...

 

I just need to encrypt a string so no one can read it... How would I do that?

I looked earlier. Found one that worked though. Thanks.

If you want to be able to decrypt it, consider using base64_encode(), maybe with a salt. If you just want to make a permanent encryption, say for a login system, I recommend using md5() with a salt. A salt is just for extra security.

 

#md5 with a salt
$salt = "texthere";
$encrypt = md5($salt . $password);

#Here is my standard encryption
$salt = "12 character salt here";
$encrypt = base64_encode(md5(base64_encode($salt.$password.$salt)))

My encryption is overdone, but I would love to see someone crack it
