[RESOLVED] md5 encryption

[Botkiller]

Hey all,

I'm trying to do a md5 encryption on my login script. However when I encrypt I keep getting the same string while using other input. I tried the md5() and sha1() functions.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Haven't a clue, because we haven't seen how you're trying to use it.

oops, my fault, forgot about the code 😛

This is just a script I was testing for implementing it later into a login script.

Here it is :

<?php
$hashthis = $_POST['hashthis'];
$hash = $_POST['hash'];
if($hashthis == true){
$hash_result = sha1($hash);
echo "$hash_result";


}else{
echo "<form method=POST action=b64.php enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">
  What do you want to hash, sir?<br>
  <input type=password name=hash size=20><br>
  <input type=hidden name=hashthis value=true>
  <input type=submit value=Verzenden name=B1>
</form>";
}
?>

edit : The file is called b64.php because I was testing base64 first, but because that's decryptable I don't use it 🙂

I rewrote the script and I found out what the problem was, when I used sha1($hash); it didn't work, but when I did sha1("$hash"); it worked 😃😃😃

All that does is convert a string to a string by inserting it between two empty strings. What comes out of that is exactly what went in so that shouldn't have made any difference. 😕 (And your original code worked for me).

Well my original code didn't work for me, all the time the same hash with different input. But with just the " " it worked and creates a nice hash 🙂
