The reaseon why PCRE is faster is because the POSIX standard demands to
return the longest matching string which means POSIX checks all possible
matches while PCRE simply returns the first valid match. In cases where
there is no match both have to check all matches.
The other thing is,

I think using UNIQUE is the way to go simply because of data integrety (=

Use a mail class to send your mail instead of mail. These classes have a

posix standard does not support. As far as I know lookbehinds and
lookbacks and stuff like

Set the column type of password to be a char(32). Then, pass the
password
through md5 to mysql to store it. To verify it, pass the password
through
md5 then compare it to what's in the database.
This is true for your own authentication but I mean how to connect to the
database using md5.
One more thing, make sure the application is running on its own server
meaning don't use a shared hosting enviroment that allows others to gain
access to your directories. In this case even placing the file outside of
docroot doesnot secure it in anyway since any other user can access it

Hello
Two things:
First wouldn't it be faster to use strpos and substr if you simply have to
find the literate !-- start_tag -- and !-- end_tag --.
Second: If you use your regex and you have something like
!-- start_tag -- This is some text to grasp!-- end_tag -- this is
text I don't want !--
Depends on the use of the function. (Output functions should produce
output shouldn't they?!) Best option probably is to specifiy an argument
that allows to choose wether to output or to return.
If you return text you should return by reference to prevent unnecessary
memory consumption.

First of all NO there is no way of reversing the MySQL password function
