This thread is similar to the following GT thread:

I've searched PHPBuilder, MySQL, PHP.net, and Google, but can't seem to find the solution. I've read quite a few threads on using md5 and how to check input parameters against table columns.

However, I can't seem to get it to work.

I've done the following:

1) Updated some user records using md5($this->password)

2) Edited the login check codes to look like the following:

I've added some de-bugging code and here is an example of what is outputted in the login script:

Password incorrect. fe08e3124c:fe08e3124cd2adcdde3109fb3ecf9a04

Notice that the first set of bold codes:

fe08e3124c is the password in the database and the second string of codes with the first part of it bolded shows that the md5 is rendering the inputted password field, however, it is adding a bunch of miscallenous characters at the end.

Yes, I've thought of using crypt, yet since I am trying to tie PHPBB2 into my central login logic, I am using similar codes in PHPBB2 (which uses md5 to "encrypt" passwords).

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Note: I tried using trim as well, like:


but didn't make a difference.
