i wanted to know what types of crypting are their to use... (heard from a friend theres more than one)

also if i crypt something, like say "work" (without quotes), and crypt the same word again (somewhere else), will they be the same jibberish stuff that comes out or will it be different?

i guess it's the same...because of this:

lets say you have a password encrypted, and you want to compare it to the password that the user provide...should be the same right?

:arrow: There's some info about encryption on the PHP Manual
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php

A little confused

What do you mean crypt and then crypt some where else? On a different site?

If you crypt a password on two different sites and use the same encryption function and same salt then it will be the same. If the previous two stipulations aren't meet, then it will not have the same results.
