one way encryption for a 16 digits string

2001-06-13 Thread samuel 

Hi,
I need a one way encryption for a 16 digits string.
let's call $string the clear string, and e($string) the encypted string.

I need e($string) to give always the same result for any $string,
and I need e($string1) != e ($string2) for all ($string1,$string2),
having  $string1!= string2.

Does the PASSWORD() built-in function of mysql fits to these
requirements?
If not, do you know about any other encryption method that would fits to
that?

Thanks

Samuel

Yes.

encrypt() with a fixed salt.
