encrypting

[refaris]

anyone know a php function that would encrypt data into something that looked like this: 9c46df0415 ?

any help would be awesome

[man]md5[/man] for example

or [man]crypt[/man]

i knew about md5() just currious why it was a 10 digit code.... md5 puts out something a lot longer

[mrhappiness]

maybe "the unknown" uses only the first 10 characters... or characters 5 - 15... or... ?
