I'd concatenate the employee's email and manager's email, and then use an MD5 hash of it as the unique string. i.e: $unique_id = md5 ( $employee_email . $manager_email ); For more info on what MD5 is, see http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php Cheers, Al -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Even allowing for that, concatenating only the email addresses makes the hash extremely vulnerable. Better to add a salt and a timestamp, so your unique string becomes something like: unique_id = unix_timestamp + md5 (employee_unique_token + manager_unique_token + random_string) (All this assumes that you want the unique id to be unguessable for some reason. Personally, I'd just put the primary key associated with the job in the URL, and password-protect the site.

[PHP] Re: recommendation needed for dedicated server hosting
Hi, I recently went through a horrendous experience with two different hosting providers. I'd like some recommendations on excellent hosting providers if anybody has some. My key priorities in order are: 1) around-the-clock, technically competent TELEPHONE support (webchat support, message boards, email based support etc. will not do!) 2) reasonable hosting fees (no more than 300/month) for a dedicated server 3) services for the following - backup, OS upgrades/patching, security If anybody has been with a company that they're happy with for at least a year please leave some feedback. Thanks! I've been with RackShack for a little more than a year now and I and very satisfied with them. www.rackshack.net Servers @ $99 per month -- Kyle Gibson admin(at)frozenonline.com http://www.frozenonline.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Here's what I mean I mean a PHP program I can install on my web-server, then log in and use it to browse and edit other PHP files on the server. The idea is that I could make changes and bugfixes to a web app while I'm away from home/office. Ideally it would be more than just a text editor, but also have syntax highlighting and formatting for PHP built in. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks, Angus Windows 7 RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature may do it for you.

Would it work if i make the ecommerce system myself and build OpenCart support in it so that OpenCart extensions can be installed in my oscommerce as well? Since then i wouldn't have to bother about payment modules.
