[SOLVED] How to duplicate a text string?

[ghurty]

What code do I use to duplicate a text string?

For example I have:

$activ = md5( $activ );

The thing is, I want to take $activ and convert into md5 hash and store it AND store it in the original format.

As of now, all I have it is that it is converting into md5 hash and storing it that way.

 

Thanks

<?php
$activity = $_POST['string'];
$activ = md5($activity);
?>

 

The variable stays the same.

What do you mean by duplicate exactly?

As of know,

the new md5 string gets stored in a table.

I want to have it that the original AND the md5 string gets stored.

 

Thanks

INSERT INTO table VALUES($activity, $activ)

First row is not encrypted, second row is md5 encrypted.
