php md5 decryption

[contra10]

i wanted to know how can i stript the md5 encript from this code when i want to echo it from the database

 

<?php
$_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']);
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['pass'] = addslashes($_POST['pass']);
?>

 

how can i view it in real form

 

i have already entered it into mysql and if i echo it out of course its going to show the string

You can't. md5 is a one-way encryption.

shoot...i should have read up on that...is there another way to encrpt so that i would be able to decrypt it later on?

You can use mysql's encode/decode

edit: by encode/decode, I should've mentioned to use AES - more secure.
