phpknight Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I am interested in sending encrypted email with PHP for bug reports, etc.--just text, no attachments needed, but I cannot find out enough about this so far to get it done. What is the easiest way to do this that would remain reasonably hassle free? I want to be able to change the From: name, email, etc., just like I do now but not have the email in normal text during the transmission when it is going to me. Please provide an example. For third party things, I am okay one they are installed, but I usually have trouble installing packages. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpknight Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Right, but then wouldn't I also have to have PHP installed at home in order to decrypt the message? And, is there a way to do that so I wouldn't have to do something special each time? I still want to see the messages quickly just like plain text because it makes debugging the programs so much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP_PhREEEk Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 If you encrypt anything going out, you will need to decrypt it on the other end. What would be the point of encrypting something and expecting it to turn out as plain text to the receiver?? Maybe we don't understand your need correctly...

phpknight Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 I guess I would have to work something out so stuff automatically gets decrypted without me having to do it by hand all the time--whether this was a software program or something I have to write--because it would slow me down if I had to decrypt every single message. So, I want the security of encrypted email but with the ease of reading as well. Any chance that can happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 well u could just use md5 if u really wanted , i used md5 to encript my passwords for the login script my site used Since you can't decrypt MD5 hashes that would probably not be a good idea (unless you never intended to read the bug reports).
