md5 func

[Eccentric]

any way to decrypt as i'm thinking about encrypting my email address's in the db so i would need a way to decyrpt to send emails?

[ScottDiamond.]

I'm not sure if there is a way to do it in emails.

I'd just decrypt it from an online decrypter.

No such thing as a completely working decryptor. They mostly use rainbow patterns.

Not all of the entries would work, but a few do.

If your encrypting emails use base64_encode then you decode with base64_decode

[QuickScriptz]

I agree with Richard. Thats the best thing to do if you need to decrypt and use it later. But md5() is good for passwords.

[RichardKnox]

Yeh, use md5 for passwords.

If you are looking for a more secure and effective way then I recommend the mcrypt functions in PHP:

For a secure cipther I recommend the "MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256" cipher - Its used by the US Goverment for top secret documents.

Just thinking of client confidentiality and if we were hacked which i hope not.

But if it was decriptable on your site anyway, if you got hacked it wouldn't stop them from getting the info.
