Hi all programmers,
Now i'm going to work a ltl with my site security, and i want to know, wich one coding system is better?:
md5() or sha1()
if you know anything, please post here

I personally prefer sha1, since it creates a longer ("word" length) hash.

Note that md5 and sha1 are not "coding systems", they are "hashing systems".

yes, u are right about coding a hashing, but it's not the main subject. Maybe i'll do sha1 hashing ssystem on my site. Thank you Mohumben

i think sha1 is better than md5
