Atanu Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 What’s the difference between md5(), crc32() and sha1() crypto on PHP? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30129-encryption-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Different algorithms. I'm not familiar with crc32(), but MD5() and sha1() are hashes - not encryptions. A hash is a one-way process that cannot be "unhashed" to get the original value. An encrypted value can be encrypted - and is meant to be.

Daniel0 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 CRC (Cyclic redundancy check) is a hashing algorithm as well.
