Greetings to All, I am having difficulty in 'md5'ing a $var in a function before it is placed into the ("INSERT INTO table... The whole point is I don't want the MySQL DB logs showing my $var's password and username 'before' it is encrypted by MySQL's md5. When MySQL receives PHP's encrypted $var the log shows query INSERT with the 32 bits but it is not inserted into the DB. MySQL will not accept the $var's in the code that is commented out. It shows no errors by the way. MySQL accepts what is shown, but this is not as I explained what I want. Thanks In Advance, Chetan mysql_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS docproedit ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, username BLOB NOT NULL default '', password BLOB NOT NULL default '', TimeEnter timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM;")or die('Create Died' . mysql_error()); <?php $db_server='localhost'; $db_user='root'; $db_pass='somepassword'; $db_name='aims site'; $tbl_name='docproedit'; $con = mysql_connect($db_server,$db_user,$db_pass) or die(mysql_error()); $q=mysql_select_db($db_name, $con) or die(mysql_error()); function addNewUser($username,$password){ global $q; global $tbl_name; global $con; //$user=md5($username); //$pass=md5($password); //mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tbl_name (username,password)VALUES('$user'),('$pass')"); $user=$username; $pass=$password; mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tbl_name (username,password)VALUES(md5('$user'),md5('$pass'))"); return mysql_query($q,$con); } ?> <?php $username="somename"; $password="somepassword"; addNewUser($username,$password); echo "<h2>New User Added!</h2>"; ?> -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
