PFMaBiSmAd Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Searching the manual is really the only way to find answers to such basic questions - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/encryption-functions.html#function_encode Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/92599-password-encryption/#findComment-474523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paultaylor01 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 So the second agabus element is simply a password - thank you for your help. I thought it had some bearing on the actual encryption being used (can you guess i'm new to MySQL?!?). I assume therefore that the encrypted password would therefore be the same whatever the password was?

paultaylor01 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 I mean does the choice of password have any bearing on the encrypted value? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/92599-password-encryption/#findComment-474662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Doesn't it have to? I'm quite confused... there's a plaintext string, and then there's the key -- they have nothing to do with one another.
