My friend gave me a piece of encoded PHP code. I decoded it and I got this:
function rotencode($string,$amount) { $key = substr($string, 0, 1); if(strlen($string)==1) { return chr(ord($key) + $amount); } else { return chr(ord($key) + $amount) . rotEncode(substr($string, 1, strlen($string)-1), $amount); }}

He said I am supposed to find a variable and a code like this:

$variablename = 123324234;

Any ideas?

I have no idea what you are taking about.

function rotencode($string,$amount)
{
	$key = substr($string, 0, 1);
	
	if(strlen($string)==1)
	{
		return chr(ord($key) + $amount);
	}
	else
	{
		return chr(ord($key) + $amount) . rotEncode(substr($string, 1, strlen($string)-1), $amount);
	}
}

i dont get it at all XD

What it does is that it adds $amount to all character values in the string, and it does it recursively.

so if you call:
rotEncode("12345", 3), it will return "45678"
rotEncode("ABCDE", 5), it will return "FGHIJ"
