Password, Dreamweaver, PHP and mysql

[Guest]

Dear,

I created a user registration for and encrypted the password using sha1

if ($pwdOK) {
        $_POST['pwd'] = sha1($_POST['pwd']);
    }

and for the login I used, this line of code right after the connection line to recognize the encrypted pwd as Dreamweaver doesn't do it on its own

if (isset($_POST['pwd'])) { $_POST['pwd'] = sha1($_POST['pwd']);}

but surprisingly, it is not working, I am being redirect to the error page instead, even though I am using both right user and password.

Any one, has any idea how I can possibly solve this problem.

How big is the pwd column in your database? Anything encrypted with sha1 needs to be VARCHAR(40). If it's less than 40, it won't match.

thank you Mr. Power, that was the only problem, it works perfectly now, so thank you a lot. And for the record, your book has been a veritable bible for my learning, I am happy I put my hands on it.
