[PHP] MD5 System Password check with PHP

[Chinmoy Barua]

Hello everybody,

I want to authenticate my user from web with PHP
script. The user's passwords are stored in System as
MD5 format (in /etc/shadow). 

Can anybody help me?

First store the password in the DB as 
$passwd=md5($passwd)
insert into table values( $passwd);

get the user password and check by comparing
if(md5($password)==$fetchedpasswdfromDB)
{
...
}

Which part do you want help with?

The form?
The SQl query?
The whole lot?
My guess is the query

$sql = 
SELECT id
FROM users
WHERE username='.$_POST['username']}'
AND password='.md5($_GET['password']).';
It (MD5) can also be done directly in the query as a MySQL function.

Burhan,

Please try to quote the right person when replying to a thread -- your 
messages was, I assume, intended for Chinmoy Barua, not me.

It saves confusion, and keeps the thread more useful and easier to 
follow.

Thanks,
Justin French
