    <p>I thought this would be simple but I can't find a simple solution to this..</p> <p>Is there a way to encode a string and decode a string with a simple passphrase? somesthing like this:</p> <pre><code>$encoded = stringEncrypt('someText','simpleKey'); echo stringDecrypt($encoded,'simpleKey'); //outputs someText; </code></pre> <p>I tried this but with no luck:</p> <pre><code>function lime_encrypt($data,$key) { return base_convert(bin2hex($data),16,10) * base_convert(bin2hex($key),16,10) ; } function lime_decrypt($data,$key) { return pack("H*",base_convert($data/base_convert(bin2hex($key),16,10),10,16)); } </code></pre> <p>I think this is because the multiplication doesn't returns a integer but a mathematical expression 6.28414834514E+25</p> <p>any idea how I can implement this?</p> <hr> <h2>edit</h2> <p>I reused another code I found on stack overflow and ended up with this:</p> <pre><code>function lime_encrypt($data,$key) { return base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $data, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key)))); } function lime_decrypt($data,$key) { return rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($data), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))), "\0"); } </code></pre> <p>but I end up with a Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_encrypt() using php > 5 on linux centOS.</p> <p>So I'd rather stay simple and movable to other hostings...</p> <hr> <h2>Solution?</h2> <p>At the end, I'm using this, found on a blog:</p> <pre><code>function lime_encrypt($data,$key) { return openssl_encrypt($data, 'AES-128-CBC', $key,0,'fgrgfvcfghtfdrfg'); } function lime_decrypt($data,$key) { return openssl_decrypt($data, 'AES-128-CBC', $key,0,'fgrgfvcfghtfdrfg'); } </code></pre>

    1. COWhy does it need to be simple? Would a suggestion that actually employs Password Bases Encryption (as defined in PKCS#5) not be sufficient?

    2. COmd5 encryption should be fine for what you need

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
