Re: Unix passwd file

I found this code in a web (or somthink like this), but can remever where to give the credits, sorry. include_once('/etc/php/bases.php'); function autentifica($user,$pass) { global $db1Host, $db1User, $db1Pass; $auth = false; mysql_connect($db1Host,$db1User,$db1Pass)

     or die ('Unable to connect to server.');

// Select database on MySQL server mysql_select_db('mysql')

     or die ('Unable to select database.');

// Formulate the query $sql = "SELECT user FROM user WHERE User='$user' && password=PASSWORD('$pass')"; // Execute the query and put results in $result $result = mysql_query($sql)

       or die ('Unable to execute query.');

// Get number of rows in $result. $num = mysql_numrows( $result ); if ($num != 0) { // A matching row was found - the user is authenticated.

           $auth = true;

} return $auth; } Josep R. Raurell En/na Scott ha escrit:

I apologize if this is might be OT. I have 5,000+ users in a unix passwd file that I would like to move to a MySQL table to build a login system with php. I could then use this table for Postfix and Radius. I know about the getpwent in perl, but does anyone know if I populate a MySQL table with the login/password can php then use that encrypted password to validate users? TIA
