[FX.php List] FM accts vs. acct & password fields?

[Glenn Singleton]

Ggt,

Do you have a fm custom function to share that can crypt & decrypt PHP
crypted values ie worked together seemlessly ?

Otherwise how do you do it in Filemaker so that a crypted value in Filemaker
can be used by a web client or visa versa ?
