Hello everybody, I want to authenticate my user from web with PHP script. The user's passwords are stored in System as MD5 format (in /etc/shadow). Can anybody help me?

Which part do you want help with? The form? The SQl query? The whole lot? My guess is the query $sql = " SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='.$_POST['username']}' AND password='".md5($_GET['password'])."'"; It (MD5) can also be done directly in the query as a MySQL function. Justin
