storing those values in a database is a better idea than storing in a text file.
You should hash the passwords with MD5 or SHA1, SHA256 something (it's a one way hash) so if someone has access to your database they still won't have access to user passwords. Then basically you'll do select count(userId) from users where password = md5(@password) and if you get 1 then you're good to go. On Wed, 14 Jul 2004 12:19:51 -0400, Charles M.
