Hi,

This is all quite new to me, so sorry for my lack of knowledge. I want to create a login area for users to acces their saved data. Does this mean that I don't use SHA1 because there is no way reverse and therefore verify if the user is in the database?

I assume that is why this won't work?..."If you want to use SHA1 instead of md5, just replace the md5() function with sha1() function."

I read the best way to encrypt is SHA1. Would I be better off using MD5 and a static Salt? Is this secure enough.




Can you give me some senarios where I would use SHA1?

Many thanks for the info so far.
