How to :Encrypt a string using One-way Encryption in PHP

Crypt function is used for encryption in PHP . This function accepts two parameters:

a) String to encrypt

b) Key

As a result , it returns ciphertext.

Since it is a one-way encryption , there is no way to recover the original string .

Code :

<?php

//define password

$password="devlup";

//define key

$salt="gautham";

//encrypt password

$cipher=crypt($password,$salt);

echo $cipher;

?>
