Please help me...

Dont tell me this is in the wrong forum or something, my brain is getting angry at PHP and GD. (move it if you want to)
1. How do you encrypt strings and being allowed to decrypt them?
2. The latest version of GD available on windows does not support PHP, how can i get an older one? (i might be able to get older ones but yet help me if you can)

I really need help.
and for the first one dun give me MD5 or SHA1 cause they cant be decrypted

gd is built into php enable it in php.ini

and lookup hash ok

Yep, GD has been packaged with PHP since version 4.3. Although I believe all hashing algorythms are one way.

For what reason do you want to be able to encrypt/decrypt strings? I don't think there are any encrypt/decrypt functions built into PHP as standard...

<?PHP
/*
Description : A function with a very simple but powerful xor method to encrypt
              and/or decrypt a string with an unknown key. Implicitly the key is
              defined by the string itself in a character by character way.
              There are 4 items to compose the unknown key for the character
              in the algorithm
              1.- The ascii code of every character of the string itself
              2.- The position in the string of the character to encrypt
              3.- The length of the string that include the character
              4.- Any special formula added by the programmer to the algorithm
                  to calculate the key to use

know thats a post lol.................

You encrypt/decrypt strings with basic encryption such as base64_encode/decode

thx you all :)
