[PHP] PHP and MD5 passwords?

[Chris Hutton [RaptorNet]]

Greetings,

How would I go about using PHP to take an entered password, and check it
against an encyrpted MD5 password in a database or flat-file?

hum, that would do it?

function encrypt_pwd( $pwd ){
   if ( function_exists( md5 )){
   $password = md5( $pwd );
}else{
   $password = $pwd;
}
   return $password;
}

retrieve the record you'd like to check and compare it to
md5($UserEnteredPassword).
