It's a one-way encryption method, so you won't be able to see the
plain-text equivalent of the password again, but you can use this when
testing a login:
SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid='".$username."' AND
password=PASSWORD('".$pass."')";
Also, to correct your $query above, some things to note:
PASSWORD is a reserved word in MySQL, so you shouldn't name
any columns or databases as such.
You have a comma after `userid,password,` in your column bracket.
With PHP, you shouldn't end your MySQL query with a semicolon.
The code needs it to terminate the line, the query doesn't.

the password is encrypted one way ( usually md5() ) so you must compare
the encrypted hashes

RE: [PHP-DB] Password decryption
Hi,
Note from the manual:
PASSWORD() encryption is one-way (not reversible).
Also note:
===
Note
The PASSWORD() function is used by the authentication system in
MySQL Server; you should not use it in your own applications.
For that purpose, consider MD5() or SHA1() instead. Also see RFC 2195, section
2 (Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism
(CRAM)), for more information about handling passwords and authentication
securely in your applications.
===
The way to do it is to encrypt the response password from the logon and compare
the encrypted versions; rather than decrypting for
the compare.

[PHP-DB] Password decryption
Hi,
I'm junior in PHP and stuck on Encryption.
I have encrypted password using SQL :
$query = "insert into user (userid,password,) values
('$username',Password('$pass'));";
Which is working perfect. Now I'm working on Login page where I have to compare
passwords.. As password in database is encrypted so I need to decrypt it back
for compression. I have tried the flowing but not working.
if ($pwd != Password("$info['password']"))
{
echo("-");
//header("Location: abuse.php");
}
and
if ($pwd != $info(Password("['password']"))
{
echo("-");
//header("Location: abuse.php");
}
Could any one please help..
Thank you
