Two way Encryption Example

By sean on Sep 08, 2008

simple encryption example. output is the sum of 2 and the ascii value of each character.
for example, below is listed a string of characters and their ascii value.
s = 115, e = 101, a = 97, n = 110

this snippet will take the ascii value and add 2 to it. the output would be ( within an array ):
s = 117, e = 103, a = 99, n = 112

finially, the snippet implode()'s the output into a string separated by character 46 ('.'). you can change the operation ('+') and the key ('2') to your desire for security and functionality purposes.

Usage:

printf('encrypted: %s<br />decrypted: %s', _enc($s), _dec(_enc($s)));
function _enc($s)
{
    for( $i = 0; $i < strlen($s); $i++ )
        $r[] = ord($s[$i]) + 2;
    return implode('.', $r);
}

function _dec($s)
{
    $s = explode(".", $s);
    for( $i = 0; $i < count($s); $i++ )
        $s[$i] = chr($s[$i] - 2);
    return implode('', $s);
}

XAMPP is my favorite.

Or you could use XAMPP or Apache2Triad to get Apache/PHP/mySQL running on Windows in just a few minutes.

i believe you mean http://apache.org plus you would need to install php as well

well it's not that simple. whatever your testing on, whether it be your host or locally, needs to have php installed. then before using the provided example, you would need to define $s with the string you wanted to encrypt; hence: _enc($s), _dec(_enc($s))

Create a file called "test.php" and put the code in it, aswell as the example, and open it.

Good example of a very basic two-way encryption function. Although the key, "2", could be elaborated on a bit more to make this more flexible and secure.

Also, I think a title more like "Two way Encryption Example" would be more appropriate for this snippet.
