There is a finite set of possible hashes, since hashes are of a finite length.

You're right, you don't need to store all the hashes, such as what rainbow tables do ...

If you are after optimized queries, another way is to save the day, month, and year as individual INT columns.

That way you can use the indexes on the INT columns, just as you would a timestamp,...

Please post your question in a new thread instead of resurrection a thread that is years old.

Why not just save the whole hash generated by whirlpool? Using md5 effectively reduces the size of the hash, making it easier to guess (find collisions).

Taking a substr() of 7 characters makes...

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. But it was referenced recently and I thought I'd add to it.

crc32b should not be used with passwords as it is an insecure hash function. ...

Your web host support should be helpful there.

From the shell, do:

To see each folder that is searched for commands.

You can then just search each folder like:

You won't know what is wrong, unless you view the errors.

The reason you don't get duplicates is that a SHA1 is very unique. Thus even with the redundancy introduced by the function, it still does not collide with others.

It is the same as just cutting...

Multiplication is associative, so you'll get numerous collisions.

$v=($charconvert[$char[0]]*$charconvert[$char[1]])+32;

You need a valid base. 10 is not a valid base for a string containing a-f.

With sha1() the string is a hex, base 16. ie: 0-9a-f
