It seems the upgrade was from Mysql 4.0. PASSWORD() function changed between 4.0 and 4.1, it uses longer hashes now. You can still use OLD_PASSWORD() function instead.

Hello,

My ISP updated their MySQL DB to 5.0.18 and that killed my login procedure which was OK yesterday. Any ideas how to start to debug this?

The login updates 2 fields in users table row where username and password macthes. This is the code:


if (!$query = mysql_query("update tbl_users set sess_id='$sess_id', sess_id_start='$date' where md5(usr_name)='$usr_name' and password=PASSWORD('$password') ",$connection))
{
header("Location: http://www.domain.net/loginscreen.php";);
exit;
}
else
{
Do Login and stuff...

This worked until today. I called the ISP and they confirmed that there was a database update yesterday.
