Books are using MySQL I am guessing you’re employing PHP. there are numerous different encrytions you should use in PHP.

Extra common ones usually are md5 and sha1
PHP: md5 – Manual
PHP: sha1 – Manual

Whenever you start using a character set you should chose the encoding or no less than be a little aware of the standard…
