In addition to its ability to map tables in relational databases, Phalcon can map documents from NoSQL databases. The ODM offers a CRUD functionality, events, validations among other services. Due to the absence of SQL queries and planners, NoSQL databases can see real improvements in performance using the Phalcon approach. Additionally, there are no SQL building reducing the possibility of SQL injections. The following NoSQL databases are supported: Name Description MongoDB MongoDB is a scalab

public encrypt (mixed $text, [mixed $key]) Encrypts a text $encrypted = $crypt->encrypt("Ultra-secret text", "encrypt password");
