Dim strEncryptedText  As String
strEncryptedText  =  Encrypt("yourEncryptionText")
 
Dim strDecrptedText As String
strDecrptedText = Decrypt(strEncryptedText)

You can easily set the passphrase, saltvalue and bits to your liking..

How to Display Date in PHP

Image
To get current datetime (now) with PHP you can use   date   with any PHP version, or better   datetime class   with PHP >= 5.2 Various date format expressions are available   here . Example using   date This expression will return NOW in format   Y-m-d H:i:s 1 2 3 <?php echo date ( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' ); ?> Example using   datetime class This expression will return NOW in format   Y-m-d H:i:s 1 2 3 4 <?php $dt = new DateTime(); echo $dt ->format( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' ); ?> A more complete approach Above examples will return NOW using your server timezone, as it is defined in   php.ini , for example: 1 2 3 4 [Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = Europe/Athens But, the best approach is to save dates to   UTC . UTC (also called Zulu time) is the   standard international time . All time zones are expre

How to Install Squirrel Mail in ubuntu

Image
Squirr elMail   is an Open Source project that provides both a web-based email application and an IMAP proxy server. The webmail portion of the project was started by Nathan and Luke Ehresman   in 1999 and is written in the PHP scripting language. It can be installed on almost all web servers as long as PHP is present and the web server has access to an IMAP and SMTP server                                                                                             SquirrelMail webmail outputs valid HTML 4.0 for its presentation, making it compatible with a majority of current web browsers. SquirrelMail webmail uses a plugin architecture to accommodate additional features around the core application, and over 200 plugins are available on the SquirrelMail website
