  1. Hi, I have a user administration page that I\'m having some problems with. I have an HTML form in my code, that is reused to add users and edit users. When I do an edit, the form loads the variables from the database, and everything is shown, except the password. My statement to update or insert into the database contains the following: UPDATE user SET uname=\'$uname\',password=PASSWORD(\'$password\')... The problem really comes from my values that are loaded when doing an edit. Since the password is entered into the database encrypted, when I pull the value from the database and auto-populate the form with it, it\'s the encrypted version. So if I don\'t also type in a new password in the edit screen, the old password is lost and I have to reset it anyway. To gather my edit values, I do something like this: $sql = \"SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_id=$user_id\"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $user_id = $myrow[\"user_id\"]; $uname = $myrow[\"uname\"]; $password = $myrow[\"password\"]; $email = $myrow[\"email\"]; $ulevel = $myrow[\"ulevel\"]; And then in my form, I echo the $password. I\'m thinking that if in the above section, I could some how integrate the password=PASSWORD(\'\') portion of the code, it would translate it back correctly, but I\'m not sure how to do it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any and all help!
