Peeps,
My problem is this. I'm not happy about storing plain text passwords in my database
for users, so was considering using the password () function in order to store a hash
of the password instead.
sample SQL.
$sql = "SELECT login,IPaddress,password,administrator,valid
FROM $user_details_table
WHERE IPaddress =\"$address\" OR (login =\"$username\" AND password =
password(\"$password\"))
";
now I don't have any problems writing to the database, or extracting either. The
problem is I want to include one of those "Forgotten your password ?" entry points to
email the user their password. How can I insert into an email their password, i.e.
reverse the password function ? Cant find it documented anywhere.
Much appreciated
Kevin Williams
