Differences between Commercial and Community versions of LiveCode

[prothero at earthlearningsolutions.org]

I’ve been having questions about aes 256 encryption lately. I encrypt MySQL queries and data ,(in livecode) before sending it to a php script on my remote server. The php version returns a warning message that I am not using a salt, which reduces security. Ok, but I can’t find info about how to create and use salts. What are the parameters needed to make a salt, and do I have to do anything to my decode script in php to make it recognize the salt? 

It would be wonderful if there was a sample code for this.

Best,
Bill
