I am writing function to handle the passwords. Currently the crypt is being used to store the password in the database. what I need to do is, when the user wants to change the password, I need to check if that password is not being used before up to 5 times, If not then then records should be inserted to the database.
The problem where i am running into, when I capture the password that user entered, I can't compare to the one in database , because each time the function crypt gives different one. Is there any way that I can achieve this?
Appreciate your help
Regards
