I often find myself quickly needing the 1-way encrypted value (hash) of a string. Most often, it’s to securely store an individual password into a database or script. Rather than temporarily hard-coding the plain text to see what PHP will generate, I wrote a little reusable script to generate hash values. Anyone who might find it useful can find it here. If you’re paranoid about security, you can find a secure version here, although you may get a warning about my self-signed certificate.

About Me
- Welcome to my website. I'm a full-time web developer in Northern California. I do everything from CSS to PHP to server administration, and I love what I do. I'm currently developing several Buddypress/Wordpress plugins, as I think it is a great CMS platform. Feel free to drop me a line: My Email address is my first name appended to this domain name ;-)
- Vim TipsWant to collapse some text and free up some editing space? While in command mode press "z" followed by any movement command. Those lines of text will be "folded". For example: press "z5j" to fold the next 5 lines. Here's one I like: Move to an open parenthesis. Then type "zf%" to fold everything between it and it's matching closing parenthesis.
