Hi,
I can use md5($password) to encrypt passwords, but can't seem to get it to work for when the user wants to log in.
For example,
// Encrypt password
$passwordmd5 = md5($password);
So when the user enters their password to login, I use the same code as above to encrypt the password they entered to check it against the encrypted password in the database, but it doesn't work. Why is this?

I found out why it didn't work, it was because the password field in the database was 10 characters which meant it didn't store the 32 characters of the encrypted password. I changed it to 32 characters and it worked.
