Encryption Functions in PHP: crypt() and md5()

Hi! In this article, I am going to share encryption functions on PHP programming language with you. Well, there are several functions about this subject, but here the point is crypt and md5.

md5 function is a text encryption. Here the text or string may be probably as password. md5 function makes the text a value which is 32-digit. Sure this value is probably going to be more complex than older text value.

print md5("phpservisi.com");

md5 function's output

The example given above shows us phpservisi.com string value's output with md5 function.

crypt function is the same mission with md5. Namely this is encryption function too. Here the variety is complexity of output. Because of it is some of us use this one, like me :) 

One more feature is the output of crypt function's about making one-way string hashing. crypt function will return a hashed string using alternative algorithms that may be available on the system.

Now, I'm coding about this:

echo crypt("phpservisi.com"); 
echo "\n".crypt("phpservisi.com"); 
echo "\n".crypt("phpservisi.com"); 
echo "\n".crypt("phpservisi.com"); 
echo "\n".crypt("phpservisi.com"); 
echo "\n".crypt("phpservisi.com"); 
echo "\n".crypt("phpservisi.com"); 
echo "\n".crypt("phpservisi.com");

crypt function's output

As you've seen on the top is crypt function's output. I did the same thing 8 times, and crypt function has just given us different results about those.

If you want to learn more information about this subject, you can visit the PHP Manual web page: md5, crypt, sha1_file, crc32, sha1, hash

libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In my Ubuntu Linux, I was trying to call Java from C++ using JNI. Compiling progress was succeed but at runtime I saw an error on concole:

libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Finding the right solution took five seconds but it was quite easy. I modified the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable using export command in the Linux shell:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/i386/client

The location of JDK is always changed because of updates but Ubuntu stores the links of current JVM in default-java directory. It is /usr/lib/jvm/default-java in my Linux. Two directories must be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The first one is jre/lib/i386 and the second one is jre/lib/i386/client or jre/lib/i386/server in default-java directory. Use of export solves my problem.

Good luck!

Online Interpreters and Compilers in codepad.org

Today, I stumbled upon a web page which has got an online interpreter/compiler interface for many languages including C, C++, D, Haskell, Lua, OCaml, Php, Perl, Python, Ruby, Scheme and Tcl.

Just write your code, select the corresponding language and hit the submit button.
You will be forwarded to an other page in which the output of your code is shown.

Click here to goto codepad.org. Have Fun!

Fuzuli Android Application and Online Interpreter

We have just released the online interpreter and the Android application of Fuzuli, our programming language and interpreter.

You can simply run your Fuzuli programs using the site Fuzuli Online Interpreter. You will see a small hello world program. Since it only writes the "Hello world" string on the screen, it is not really relevant but makes sense. Every single programming language has its own Hello world! Type your program after deleting classical hello world program then click the RUN button. If your program is correct, you will see the output of your program at the bottom of the code. The other option for using our online interpreter is to download and install the Android application. You can download and install Fuzuli Online Interpreter for Android here. The file you will have found is ready to download and install. Do not forget to uninstall older versions if you have already installed one.

Have fun with Fuzuli!
