Now how can a 32 byte string be converted back into a multi-gigabyte file (or whatever)? It is technically possible to create two different inputs which results in the same hash but the chances of that is very remote and hence why md5 is pretty secure. -- 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-db ------------------------------------------ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
