use the following sql syntax when creating a user
INSERT into tbl_name (username,password) values
('user',PASSWORD('passwd'));
and when authenticating the user you can do something like
SELECT username from tbl_name where passwd=PASSWORD('$pass'); and in this
case $pass is the variable holding the password entered on the webpage.
