note 22075 added to function.md5

It should also be pointed out that PHP contains no functions for decrypting a hashed string. If you want to use md5() to encrypt users' passwords in a database, you would go about coding the login by encrypting the submitted password ie. $user_submitted_password = md5($user_submitted_password); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE encrypted_password='$user_submitted_password'"); if (mysql_num_rows($result) < 1) { echo "Invalid password"; exit; } else { echo "Correct password!"; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22075 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22075 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22075
