In-code Encryption

[bronzey214]

I need to know how I can code a user name and password from a form directly to the e-mail it sends me so i cannot view the password... any ideas?

Depends on how you want to encode it.

md5() - calculate md5 hash of a string
base64_encode() - encodes data with MIME base64
mcrypt() - a not so secure encryption method

Those are options. mcrypt requires a library compiled in PHP to work. md5 does not allow you to decrypt it, once it's encrypted, it's encrypted.

Hope that helps.

Oh, and just do:
md5($username)
md5($password)
to use it before it goes into the email.

Well what I want it to do is take all the stuff from the form on the last page, encrypt (using md5) the user name and password and then send it to my e-mail. I have the taking the form results and the sending to my email down, but I can't get it to encrypt in between

Post some snippit of how you retrieve it. What you could do is something like:

<?php
$username = md5($_POST['user']);
$password = md5($_POST['pass']);
$other = $_POST['otherjunk'];

mail($someone, $someone, $subject, $username.$password.$other);

?>

If I get you, you just want the username and password encoded.

If you want everything encoded, why email it to yourself?

That worked. Thanks.

No problem. Don't forget to mark it resolved.
