I've built an app that let's me more quickly and easily reconfig my WAMP workstation after a re-install, and more generally to centralize information that is used in Dreamweaver and FileZilla so that I may generate XML configuration documents for these programs from the same source of data, stored in a database. When I wrote the class for producing site.ste XML and tested it, I discovered the password encoding problem. Dreamweaver was loading configuration data just fine from the generated XML, but I kept getting login errors over SFTP/FTP. Now I'm stuck until I find a way to encode a plain text password in accordance with Dreamweaver CS3's algorithm using PHP. I almost have it, but something is wrong... function dreamweaver_pw_encrypt($pw) { $out = ""; $i = 0; for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($pw); $i++) { $out .= sprintf("%02x", ord($pw{$i})); } return $out; } That’s brilliant.

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($pw); $i++) {
$out .= sprintf(”%02x”, ord($pw{$i}));
