Re: passwords

thanks guys; let's see if i got it: i md5-encrypt the password string once and store the resulting string. i change the form method to post. as soon as my script gets the username and password it encrypts the password again and checks against the stored one. if they match and i don't want to work with cookies then i pass the username and encrypted password from page to page. btw, there doesn't seem to be a single built-in decryption function in php, is there? not necessarily a bad thing...
