It is very useful to encrypt secret data before transfer it over the network. $iv_len -- initialization vector's length. -PLEASE READ-IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT FUNCTIONS FOUND IN EN_DE_CRYPT.PHP------------------------ functions: md5_encrypt($plain_text, $password, $iv_len = 16) -and- md5_decrypt($enc_text, $password, $iv_len = 16) JTH Computer Systems notes and warnings: If you pass a value to the $iv_len please remember the value or store it somewhere, else you will not be able to decrypt the information. I suggest just using the default value of 16. The same goes for the variable $password, its value should not change after first use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUST READ!!!! 1) VERY IMPORTANT -- PLEASE -- PLEASE -- MAKE A BACKUP OF CODING AND DATA -- 2) The INCLUDES FOLDER contains A ORIGINAL osCommerce layout of the CONFIGURE.PHP with additional lines required for the encryption process.
