Miles, You must MD5 the value outside of mysql for it to evaluate it, from the error I just got. i have tried $passhash = MD5($username.$password); $arg = "select password, 1 as auth from acl where (username='andrewd' and password=($passhash))";
And get the following error... select password, 1 as auth from acl where (username='andrewd' and password=(c59d088cd3d873af5239cfac1234f370))1054 : Unknown column 'c59d088cd3d873af5239cfac1234f370' in 'where clause' So at least the MD5 is now evaluated. But there is still and error in there.

Why does ittake so long. MD5(andrew.madonna) - I think you're goint to have to do this $passhash = $username . $password and use MD5($passhash). MySQL is looking for a table "andrewd" with the field "madonna" in the way the MD5() is presently structured.
