fileString

encString

The encString function is used to encrypt a string - it's not hard encryption (so don't rely on it to store sensitive information), but should be hard to decrypt without knowing the key.

return: Returns encoded string

string encString (string $data, [string $ekey = false])

string $data: Text to encode
string $ekey: Key used to encrypt. By default Jamroom will use the MySQL Username as the encryption key.

NOTE: If you do not provide the $ekey (encryption key) variable, Jamroom will use the MySQL username as the encryption key. This means that if the MySQL information is changed, strings that were encrypted before the change will no longer be able to be converted back, so make sure that if you are using this function for long term storage of an encrypted value, that you provide the (known) key - otherwise, once the MySQL info is changed, any strings encrypted before the change will no longer be accessible.
