yeah that is what I hv been doing the entire day today..will give it a shot tomorrow again!! Thanks a lot.

hi Hmm.. this may sound silly to u..but I am pretty new to mysql. I hv just used the function password(string) to encrypt the password field in the database. and I just using \'password=password(\'$txtpassword\') as part of my query. It just refuses to authenticate..very maddening! natasha

hi all, I am using PHP-MySql and use the following code for login authentication: <? $res=@mysql_query(\"select * from users where login=(\'$txtlogin\') and password=password(\'$txtpassword\')\"); ?> $txtlogin and $password are the text field names. The database has stored the password in the encrypted format. But still it i snot authenticating. The connection to mysql etc is working. Without the encryption, the logn authentication works...what can be possibly wrong? a very very perplexed Natasha. :?:
