Will that re-hash the MD5'ed password field when editing and then
saving again?
I do this at the moment:
In model:
function beforeSave() {
$password = isset($this->data['User']['password'])?$this->data['User']
['password']:"";
if (!preg_match(VALID_MD5,$password) {
$this->data['User']['password'] = md5($this->data['User']
['password']);
}
return true;
}
In bootstrap:
define('VALID_MD5','/^[a-fA-F0-9]{32}$/i');
