Then store the encrypted password in a DB. When checking a password, encrypt the password provided by the user (prolly via form submission) against the previosly encrypted password in the DB. You're basically compairing two encrypted strings.</p> Tue, 08 Oct 2002 04:00:00 +0000 Mark Hensler comment 1115612 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-side-scripting/crypting#comment-1115607 <p>I believe you can use the md5($string) function... that's how vB does it. Just insert into the database with md5($password) and decode it the same way. I might be wrong though.</p> <p><a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php" class="bb-url">PHP.net -&gt; MD5()</a></p> Tue, 08 Oct 2002 01:09:16 +0000 necrotic comment 1115607 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
