I use a "connect_to_mysql.php" file for my custom CMS sites. Its pretty much the same thing you'd find in a wp-config.php file. I was kinda hoping I could encrypt my db host name, and db password using these methods, but I couldn't get it to work. Can this be done?

[RiverCityGraphix]

@thisistotallylife Im not sure that you need to. The password and name should be safe in the php file. To my knowledge php files cannot be read unless you have the downloaded file.

[GilbertBigelow]

How do you protect the security.php folder from being looked into? Never mined all the hash and rehash. The password is spelled out plainly in that folder and is the Achilles heel.

[RiverCityGraphix]

@GilbertBigelow What do you mean? This code would be used inside of a php file which would be invisible to the user. If for some reason you did have it in a folder you could create an index.php page inside of the folder with a simple redirect script back to the homepage.  That way users couldn't see the directory layout or file names.

@rockomoron Go to My Videos and you should see an option to the left or somewhere on the page to create a playlist. To show them on a channel, go to your channel and edit the options to show them.

Thanks for making this. Definitely subscribing. What would happen if we used more than 2 characters for crypt?

[liminos]

Great :)

But one question is left... you said If some one get's my password encryptet with the crypt method he also has to know the salt to decrypt it... but the salt is everytime in the output of the crypt function... do i have to remove that and if yes: How to do that?
