Re: [PHP] Best way to store login data?

Hi 

I would suggest you use a DB for the logins 
and use the id 

Avoid using cookies use sessions that way u have nothing 
on the client end

Hello Leif,
My opinion is
1.First do md5 encoding for passwords.
2.Store the username and encoded passwords in database as well as in two
cookies.
Note:But storing the passwords in a cookie is a security issue.
