I hope I am posting in the appropriate place. Although I didn't create this code I did write it while following along with the phpacademy 44 video tutorial on Register & Login. Next I followed the 6 video tutorial on creating a "Remember Me" cookie in order to bypass the login. Unfortunately these 2 series were not designed to go together so I am left with a very complex login system via "Register & Login" and no understanding of how to implement the "Remember Me" feature. Before I go uploading any code or copying & pasting anything I would like to throw out a general question as I've posted this on several message boards & PHP Forums so far to no avail - Is there anyone here who has implemented a "Remember Me" feature into the "Register & Login" series presented by phpacademy? This might be a simple exercise within any other login system but this one seems to have left everyone stumped so far. I will gladly upload any files or make any informatio available if anyone is interested. Otherwise it is a lot work only to risk looking like someone who is asking for handouts.

Hi, I am using PBKDF2 to crypt my passwords, but I am not sure whether or not I am using it correctly. I create a random 32 character string and use it as salt, and use it to crypt the password, then I store both the encrypted password and the salt into the database. Is this the correct way to use the PBKDF2 crypting? Also, for my remember me feature I store the encrypted password and the user ID into a cookie which is used to log the user in. This method doesn't look very secure to me for some reason. Is there a better way to implement the remember me feature?
