[SOLVED] MD5 Problems

[gazalec]

Hi i am starting to use Md5 i was just wondering how i go about it because i've tried i few things i used to have passwords in justnormal form for testing now i need encryption but i tried to change the passwords i had with MD5 ones and it just wont work

 

i have a for that passes two variables cust_no and password

 

then the PHP is this

 

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

include 'opendb.php';
$query = "UPDATE login SET password = '".$pass."' WHERE cust_no = '".$cust_no."'";
include 'closedb.php';

echo $pass;

 

and when i echo the $pass it comes up with the MD5 password so i dont know if i'm not doing it right or my database isn't configured properly ???
