I do get that MD5() scrambles a password, but how do you then
unscrable it? I want to get $password from the user, scrable it, then
append it to every link.

You don't, it's impossible.
You store the MD5 of the password. Then when a password is entered in the
future, you MD5 that and compare it with the previously stored MD5. If they
match, the passwords match. Part of the idea of this is that the original
password isn't stored, so even if the table was read by crackers the passwords
wouldn't be revealed.

The MD5 function can be use to encrypt a password, but there is no PHP
function to decrypt it. I suppose you could brute force an MD5 hash but then
why would you want to append that to a link?

MD5 isn't an encryption algorithm - it is a checksum algorithm - and
so is designed to be one way (it's actually a many - one algorithm) so
two passwords may check sum to the same value (although) this is unlikely
for such short strings.

hi.
has anyone tryed to check .htpasswd passwords with php?
everythink works fine as long as they are encrypted with
the default CRYPT mode of apaches htpasswd.
crypt($pass, $htpass) === $htpass
but how to check MD5?
if you use ./htpasswd -m .htpasswd user

Hi folks
Recently I have been discussing with a friend about python ease of

the MD5 hash of some files and was telling me about the MD5 module.
The way he told me and how it is described in the Python Docs, the
method to calculate hashes did not seemed very pythonic to me, but it
was certainly very simple and easy:
The method is (taken from python official...

Hi all,
I am trying to generate an MD5 hash for a string (ABC) but I am getting a

I'm trying to store user passwords in a MySQL database. I learned the
hard way that using MySQL "DECODE" and "ENCODE" doesn't seem to work
cross-platform, but if I encrypt on the server side with PHP's md5
function, will it work cross-platform (or cross-processor?)
Thank you for any advice

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
