RE: [PHP] password() ::: and it's return...

Instead I am curious how other developers on this list are returning the MD5, password() or whatever in permanently encrypted passwords... What are procedures and what is the way the return process work? Any tricks/tips to share with all of us?

All admins are used to this and know that if a user has lost a passwd that they are going to have to give them a new one, finding the old just isnt work one week of processing time :) Im curious to see how other php developers store their passwd's -plain text in db -use of unix password() -use of db password() -other ?
