md5 or salt?

[$php_mysql$]

which would be secured to use friends? or could we use both together?

 

show some usage example please

[$php_mysql$]

$salt ="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

$pass = md5($pass,$salt);

 

is that the right way to do it?

It would be more like:

 

$pass = md5($pass . $salt);

[$php_mysql$]

thanks bro and for login auth how could i use it?

Exactly the same way you create it. You take the password the user enters on login and apply the EXACT same hashing/salting algorithym and compare it to the value in the database. I would highly suggest creating a single function to create your hashed value to use when storing new password and for comparing passwords at login. That will ensure you are doing exactly the same thing in both instances.

thanks that was a good suggestion

This answers most of my questions on MD5. I knew it was this simple to modify the hashing technique. I noticed tons of beginning coders have the same problem with hashing in the forum and worldwide.
