RE: [PEAR] Pear Auth Class (Newbie)

Thanks Martin I used phpMyAdmin to MD5 the password and it worked....exxxxxxcellent. Now I'll try and get the permissions bit you sent me to work. I'll let you know how I get on. I'd think this would be a useful feature to add to Pear Auth maybe. Glad to hear you party too and not just code all the time...keep it up!

Have you any ideas why this problem would occur >(I know its a bit vague). The only thing I can think of is maybe the use of >crypt/MD5. You have to use md5() to "crypt" the passwords that are stored in the auth table. Did you do so? >BTW, I replied to your email privately first, but have had no reply as >yet....maybe its not the done thing! Well, actually I was out for party 'til this morning and so I did not have the time to reply to your mail ;-). - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
