nadeemshafi9: Thanks for your replies. I'll try that crypt in a little while. PFMaBiSmAd showed me how dumb I am. . This is a great forum, I'm learning a lot. Thanks guys. Wait for my next posts.

You're absolutely right Sir, my fault. I have to admit it, I'm still a newbie. You helped me resolved my problem. I was not able to analyze it. Thank you so much for the time. Really, really appreciate it.

Am not really sure if that's the case because I checked on the password column and every time I change the column size and register a new password it would create an encrypted password with the length of that column. Here's the odd thing though, I copied the encrypted password (the 40 character password created by SHA directly from the table) and pasted it on the log in page and it worked just fine. I don't know what's going on.

Well, it looks like every time I encrypt the password it would give me problem. Here's the code for the input (this is only the part for the password): if (preg_match ('/^[[:alnum:]]{4,20}$/', stripslashes(trim($_POST['password1'])))) { if ($_POST['password1'] == $_POST['password2']) { $p = escape_data($_POST['password1']); } else { $p = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Your password did not match the confirmed password!</font></p>'; } Here's the other for inserting it on my database: $query = "INSERT INTO students_info (first_name, middle_name, last_name, address, contact, email_add, username, password) VALUES ('$fn', '$mn', '$ln', '$add', '$contact','$e', '$un', sha1('$p'))"; I tried both SHA and SHA1 but neither works. If I remove the single quotes, it would give me error messages. I tried removing SHA1 or SHA and it worked fine. Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it.

Hi, I'm running into a problem signing in to the registration system I'm working on. If I register a password using this statement, SHA('$p'), where '$p' is input, my login page won't recognize the password but if I change the password manually on MySQL then log in again, it works. BTW, am using Xampp 1.7.2 with PHP 5.3.0. Help will be very much appreciated.
