Hi all, Sorry to be slightly OT, but I've prolly answered 1000 OT posts in the last year, and this IS related for all those without mycrypt, so...
I'm on a shared server which does not have mcrypt... not good, since i want to temporarily store credit card numbers in an encrypted manner, either in a MySQL database, or in a text file. So I started google'ing for a class or something that someone may have written for two-way encryption WITH A KEY TO UNLOCK. Couldn't find much, then did a search on MySQL.com, and found the ENCRYPT(), DECRYPT(), ENCODE() and DECODE() functions. Am I barking up the wrong tree, or can these be used for storing sensitive information (credit card, etc etc) in a mysql table? The MySQL manual isn't particularly in-depth about it all: http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/i/Miscellaneous_functions.html I AM running in a linux environment (RedHat I think)...
