If you think that is help you are deluded. I will not be using this site again as you are all clearly not nice people. All I wanted was a bit of help!

Thanks for your answer but I am learning PHP and MYSQL and need to know where I am going wrong. This is not to be used in a live application and my intention is to build in protection for XSS attacks and mysql injections. I have to start somewhere! I would really appreciate it if anyone can show me where I am going wrong. Thanks

Hi Guys I am fairly new to php, I am trying to build a registration form but I am struggling with encrypting the password (I will also be salting the password at a later stage to make it more secure). The below line of code encrypts the password but saves the values as the values states in the code e.g password saves as 'pass' $q = "INSERT INTO users (first_name,last_name,email,pass,registration_date) VALUES ('first_name','last_name','email', SHA1('pass'), NOW())"; The below code saves all the values that the user inputs xcept the password which is blank and the message 'Undefined index: SHA1('pass')' is returned $q = "INSERT INTO users (first_name,last_name,email,pass,registration_date) VALUES ('".$_POST["first_name"]."','".$_POST["last_name"]."','".$_POST["email"]."','".$_POST["SHA1('pass')"]."', NOW())"; I am hoping someone may be able to help me as I have no idea how to fix this. Thank you in advance
