Hi
How do you set a field so that when edited/added, it's encrypted w/ MD5 encryption onto the database?
I know you can set this for the login page / credentials.. but this one is not for PHP RUNNer's login page.. this is password for a totally separate system that i need to alter using phprunner
Thanks

Check this article for inspiration:

Note that MD5 is not encryption algorithm. It creates a hash which cannot be decrypted. It's not recommended to use MD5 for anything but for password hashing.
