A login system can contain user specific information (e.g. client ip, time) to increase protection - users tend to forget logging out. I put that data with a md5 of that data together with the password in a cookie: define ("VALID_TIME", 3600 ); // one hour function PackHash ($Username, $Valid, $Password ) { $str= "u=". $Username. "&v=". $Valid. "&p=". md5 ($Username. $Valid. $Password. getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR" )); return bin2hex ($str ); } $AUTH_HASH= PackHash ($data["username"], time ()+ VALID_TIME, $data["password"] ); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16311 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16311 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16311
