md5 coding and decodin for login

[BluwAngel]

well i decide to use md5 coding for my project

now since i have some users that i manually insert in database i wonder how do i login with them since in database i have only password typed in,and rest of them is coded

 

since my login looks like this now

$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=md5($_POST['password']);

and before was without md5 part

 

 

 

and that pull out my other question if i go online with md5 and by default user is member and not admin do i need manually change that in database or how do i register my admin account?

You can use MySQL's MD5 function when manually inserting a password. Or hash it ahead of time.

 

In order to tell if a user is an admin you'll have to have some sort of flag in the users table, like "is_admin" and set it to 1.
