Crypt: Is it good?

[bananab1]

And another qestion: what does password() do?
Thanks...

[Duey]

it creates a iraversable string encrypting the password :> crypt does the same thing as password just a different encryting method there are some more
md5()
base64()

[Buddha443556]

Base64 is reversible! It's also NOT a message digest, as MD5 and Crypt.

A message digest basically takes a string and assigns it a unque number. There is possibility of collidsion, which is when two strings produce the same number in a message digest. However the possibility is small in message digests like MD5.

Any way just thought that should be pointed out.
