[RESOLVED] md5 encryption

[mikawhat]

I'm using md5() to encrypt a string which is actually a query, in order to send it with a form $_GET. How can i decrypt it and get the actual query?

You can't. md5 is not an encryption, it is a hash. A hash is counted from something, it is not possible to get the original string back. It is intended to use for example with passwords, so that you don't store the actual password in the database.

If you want to encrypt/decrypt you may want to take a look at [man]mcrypt_encrypt[/man] and the other different mcrypt_* functions.
