Need an example of encryption between LiveCode and PHP

Hi All,
Would anyone out there be able to provide an example demonstrating the encryption/decryption of text strings between a LiveCode app and a PHP script? I have been playing around with various PHP snippets and a stack using LiveCode's encrypt command, but I just can't seem to sync things up between the two systems. I am sure a lot of folks out there could use such an example.
Thanks,
- Boo

Hi,
dunno if it helps this much, but I had to re-code a PhP function recently:
PHP:
Code: Select all
<?php
function generateHash()
{
$initKey = 'EXsl4ywgDR5mR3sTGwws9Ikl2ocSKZlvhxoFTv8Au3MaV5UqrEIJORVF5PmFNy';
$remoteDomain = 'www.server.de';
$date = gmdate('dmY');
$hash = "";
for($i = 0; $i <= 200; $i++)
$hash = sha1($hash . $initKey . $remoteDomain . $date);
return $hash;
}
?>
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "EXsl4ywgDR5mR3sTGwws9Ikl2ocSKZlvhxoFTv8Au3MaV5UqrEIJORVF5PmFNy" into MyKey
put "www.server.de" into MyServer
put "07112014" into MyDate //better a real date ...
put empty into MyHash
put 0 into mycounter
put the ticks into MyTicks
repeat for 201
get sha1digest(MyHash & MyKey & MyServer & MyDate)
put empty into MyVar
put binarydecode("H*",it,MyVar) into myOtherVar // Voodoo (stolen) :)
put MyVar into MyHash
add 1 to Mycounter
end repeat
put the Ticks into EndTicks
Put MyHash & " / " & MyCounter & " / Time: " & Endticks - Myticks into fld "output_fld"
end mouseUp
It's no encryption, only hashing, but it may give you an idea. I hope!
Have fun!

Hi AxWald,
Thanks for the input. Hashing can be quite useful at times... However, such a scheme does not meet the needs of my current project.
This is an awesome forum. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
