ok this else statment is an else from a set session if !set kick back to loggin else ... hopfully you get the idea. but iam getting this error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\web\home.php on line 25"

[code]echo "<div id="loggedin"><p class="success">Welcome {$_SESSION['name']}</p></div>";[/code]

You need to escape the double quotes inside of the double quotes:

[code]echo "<div id=\"loggedin\"><p class=\"success\">Welcome {$_SESSION['name']}</p></div>";[/code]

cool thx i do have another question is their a ezy way to take a md5 session id and convert it to char?

[hitman6003]

You can't reverse md5, only convert a string that you think is equivalent and compare the result

Your wrong about that, you can convert a md5 hash back to regular text.

[KillerWolf]

ok how then :) i need to know

[trq]

You can't. Well not without [b]alot[/b] of time and cpu cycles. ki has no idea what he is talking about.

The question is Why do you need to convert it back?

[KillerWolf]

i wanted to greet the users using his name. could i run another querry and grab it instead?

[trq]

I dont understand. Why and where is your users name md5'd? I usually only md5 a users password stored in the database.

[KillerWolf]

$password = md5($password1);

[trq]

Is that meant to be an answer?

[ki]

I don't know how to do it myself but it is very possible from sites like:
http://md5.benramsey.com/

But like someone said, theres no point to decoding md5.

[trq]

That is simply done by someone creating a database of common words and there respective md5 hash's. The encryption has not been broken. This is why its always best to use a strong password.

[hitman6003]

The guy that runs the page that you linked to even states at the bottom:

[quote] You may use the XML interface to look up MD5 hashes from all the databases that I search: [/quote]

He doesn't reverse it...he searches a database(s) of hashes for a match and returns that

EDIT:

I tried several simple strings...if you wanted to reverse passwords or some such, anything but the simplest of passwords will probably not be found...even "P@SSword" wasn't in the database.

I never even saw that until you pointed it out. Well, I kinda got confused due to the fact that someone stated it as a title of the program on a different site.
