[SOLVED] md5 not workin in localhost

[ddkerp]

hi friends pls help me

 

iam using abyss webserver, mysql 5,  PHP version >= 4.1.2 in localhost

 

i wrote a login script which contains md5 encryption for password.

 

(This script works fine when i upload it to server)

 

but in localhost md5 function is not working and the script doesnot show any error.

 

all the other functions r working except md5. it seems the md5 function is not supported.

 

when i echoed the variable which contains md5 encrypted password, it echoes nothing.

 

 

 

here is the code

 

<?php

// Connects to your Database

mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("dilip1") or die(mysql_error());

 

//This code runs if the form has been submitted

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

 

//This makes sure they did not leave any fields blank

if (!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass'] | !$_POST['pass2'] ) {

die('You did not complete all of the required fields');

}

 

// checks if the username is in use

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

$_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']);

}

$usercheck = $_POST['username'];

$check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM logininfo WHERE username = '$usercheck'")

or die(mysql_error());

$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);

 

//if the name exists it gives an error

if ($check2 != 0) {

die('Sorry, the username '.$_POST['username'].' is already in use.');

}

 

 

$email=strpos($_POST['email'],"@");

if ($email<1){

die('enter valid mail id');

}

 

 

 

if (strlen($_POST['pass'])<6)

{

die ("password length must not be less than 6 chars");

}

// this makes sure both passwords entered match

if ($_POST['pass'] != $_POST['pass2']) {

die('Your passwords did not match. ');

}

 

 

// here we encrypt the password and add slashes if needed

$_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']);

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

$_POST['pass'] = addslashes($_POST['pass']);

$_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']);

}

 

// now we insert it into the database

$insert = "INSERT INTO logininfo (username, password, email) VALUES ('".$_POST['username']."', '".$_POST['pass']."','".$_POST['email']."')";

 

 

$add_member = mysql_query($insert);

?>

}

else

</form>

 

<?php

}

?>

What's your code?

[Mchl]

Please show us some code.

[wildteen88]

Where does it say md5 not supported? What is the code you're using?

[jackpf]

Lol hungry for code.

[ddkerp]

SORRY thats my guess. I dont no why md5 is not working but every other statements execute perfectly.

[jackpf]

Works for me.

Try putting this in:

echo $_POST['pass'];

You'll see it's suitably hashed. Well...you should do.

[ddkerp]

yes  this script works fine with my server. but its not working in my localhost.

is there anything i have to enable in php.ini or other configuration file for md5 support.

About the only time that variables get overwritten and there is no code doing it is when register_globals are on. Is that all the code involved? Do you actually have some code using a variable named $pass in your database connection or do you have a cookie set that is named pass? What does a phpinfo() statement show for the register_globals setting?

[Mchl]

BTW: Adding slashes to md5 hash is pointless

[jackpf]

What version of php have you got?

If not the latest, upgrade to that, and then try it again. It'll definitely have register globals turned off and all the newest cryptographic extensions bundled in with it (although you should have MD5 by default anyway).

Thanks I rectified the problem. In my database i set "password" field length to 30.

when i increased it to 40 .the sript works fine. The length of md5 hash value is 32

[revraz]

Yep, so set it to 32, no need to set to 40.
