md5() is a one-way encryption algorithm. So once they are encrypted, you cannot decrypt them. Just look at the md5() function on the php website. It has what you need to do. Of course if you eventually need these back in the clear, then md5 would not be a solution. -Brad Chris Payne wrote: > Hi there everyone, > > I have to store some CC details in a database which are inputted from a form, is MD5() the best way to secure the data?
