Definition and Usage
The str_rot13() function performs the ROT13 encoding on a string.
The ROT13 encoding shifts every letter 13 places in the alphabet. Numeric and non-alphabetical characters remains untouched.
Tip: Encoding and decoding are done by the same function. If you pass an encoded string as argument, the original string will be returned.
