aleX_hill Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Following my problem at http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,288871.0.html I am trying to take a different approach. Is there a function to encode some data with a key, which can then be shown in the source code, and then decode that in another php file, using the key to decode it? Obviously md5 wont allow the decode for this. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193038-encode-decode-with-a-key/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PravinS Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Try base64_encode() and base64_decode(). Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193038-encode-decode-with-a-key/#findComment-1016647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleX_hill Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 That may do the trick. I dont particularly want to just use encode and decode, because if someone sees the encoded part in the source, then chucks it into the decode function, they have the data. I am looking at somehow appending a random string of characters to my decoded string. But seeing as it is a filepath I want to encode, if someone decodes it and sees "insoknf3/home/my/file/path/knsokfn4334" it might be a little obvious.
