I don't know what you're doing wrong... But why not use base64_encode/decode, if all you're worried about is not storing the details in plain text...

Im trying to implement some really simply credit card encryption... I know it's not perfect, but it's a stop gap measure until I do this properly... however... To Encrypt before I put into my DB, I'm using this formula... $encrypt = $CardNumber / ($ExpiryYear * 41.9); (41.9 is just a random No to help encrpt the data) To see the correct credit card No later, I'm using this formula: $decrypt = $row[encryptedno] * $row[expiryyear] * 41.9; The credit car No I'm testing with is: 1234123412341234 and the Exp year is 2008 However, I keep getting this result... 1.2341234123412E+15 What on earth am I doing wrong? ********************************************************************* The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
