how to do encryption using PHP

[Anon]

i've been trying to understand how to use the crypt() function from the PHP manual, but i dont seem to understand how it work ..

there are encryption functions in the manual but its for unix/linux .. how about for windows 98/NT .. is there a compiled DLL version for windows ..

thanx people

Try this:

$x=crypt('input string', 3);
$y=crypt('input string', 3);

$t now has a scrambled set of text. $y has the same text scrambled.

Only if the original text matches will they both match. (in theory, anyway)

It it doesn't work, try upgrading to Linux!
