ohdang888 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 i've been using MD5 encoding for passwords.... but recently i've heard about using base64 encoding for emails. Does it really improve security much? because a simple base64 search on google brings up this site, which can decode it for you. http://makcoder.sourceforge.net/demo/base64.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95006-base-64-encoding/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

awpti Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Look into the crypt() libraries and other functions. Salt your passwords, etc. Hell, go download the KohanaPHP Framework and steal the crypt library out of there. Works quite well.
