No offence, but as you are a ZCE, this might lead people that that function is useful and might actually use it. Notwithstanding the fact that it is an extremely weak encryption, OP please note that it is pointless to be encrypting/storing/decrypting data all on the same machine. And if the data to be encrypted is anywhere near sensitive then using weak encryption is worse than no encryption (no encryption doesn't waste CPU cycles and doesn't give a false sense of security). -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ New Year Resolution: Ignore top posted posts -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
