Algorithm for document codes?!

Discussion in 'PHP' started by Sephy, May 15, 2008.

    Hello again. So here is my task. I need some algorithm for my documents code. Something similar to algorithm used in credit cards(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm). I could use this one but i need something so i can use error correction too :). For correction i will need store some check code for each user. I need this because i want my system could work off-line(for example credit cards are valid when formula for calculation gives out 0). :cool:

    example: user gives 123456789(his real number is 123456788). I check it vs my algorithm correct and give out: correct is 123456788 and there where mistake in 9 position.

    Such a script could be used to run a bunch of random numbers and then find only the valid ones; not sure if you'll find anyone supporting a way to reverse engineer credit cards like that.
