Andy,
Thanks for your comment. What I posted is only part of my code though,
as the entire thing is a bit long, and with all the includes rather hard
to follow unless I posted the whole file set. Above the piece I posted I
have code to do slashing, and some MD5 hashing, as well enforcing
Could I recommend a more secure approach:
1) using two hashes to protect the data (in case the database is
compromised they are both one-way hashes, and using two protects
against collision attacks whereby a different password string
generates the same hash as the original password)
2) escaping

query is valid, you must also then check to see if it
