password encryption not work after post

[brooksh]

If I set my password in the script it works, but if I submit the password in a form it doesn't. When echoing the password, both show the same thing. The login_pass2 encrypts correctly, but the login_pass does not. I've also tried doing $login_pass = "$_POST[login_password]"; but it doesn't work. Can anyone figure out why this isn't working?

 

$login_pass = $_POST['login_password']; //posted = pass1234
$login_pass2 = "pass1234";
echo "$login_pass and $login_pass2";// shows pass1234 and pass1234
$encrypted_pass = data_encrypt($login_pass,$key);
$encrypted_pass2 = data_encrypt($login_pass2,$key);
echo "$encrypted_pass and $encrypted_pass2"; // shows 9lf8xG573pp+8DkhzK/Bu7GPFQQzg40mZZEGIF9Qg7c= and

Have you confirmed POST data was sent with the request? To do this just dump the $_POST array e.g. var_dump($_POST);

Thanks, that solved it. For some reason my posted password had a space in it.
