[SOLVED] Strange function

[frost]

I am looking at an old script for someone and i came across a strange function in the login:

 

thepassword = password('$password')

 

I can't seem to find a password function so I am wondering what the heck this thing is?

 

I tried

echo password('$password');

 

and I get - Fatal error: Call to undefined function password()

 

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Are there any files included? The function could possibly be in one of those files.

 

When you take out:

echo password('$password');

Do you get an error in the code, or does it work fine?

I searched all of the files for "password" and checked each result, nada.

 

the error goes away after I take away the echoed statement.

I finally cracked it, password() is a mysql function.

 

I took it out and replaced it with md5 and now things are working nice.

 

This might be moved over the the sql forum?

 

Cheers.
