There is no "magic" in the django database. It is just a vanilla MySQL/ PostgreSQL database with vanilla tables. The table you are interested in is auth_users. The only required fields are username and password. django/contrib/auth/models.py is the file to study. The password is stored as either an MD5 or SHA1 digest with a prefix indicating which algorithm + '$' + a "salt" which further randomizes the value + '$'. Older Django DBs used only MD5, so if you don't see a $ in the password, then it's MD5 with no salt. E.g. sha1$4dd23$4f9d9e3eb5dfebae1c2337e3c26842daf5f1cad1 SHA1 is the method, 4dd23 is the salt and 4f9d9e3eb5dfebae1c2337e3c26842daf5f1cad1 is the hash. Look at get_hexdigest (in the same file) for more specific info. It should be fairly straightforward to access and check this from your PHP code.
