Encryption in MySQL and PHP

[Shubby27]

Hi I encrypted the passwords in MySQL by using this code and it worked but when used the passwords to login with a PHP website it didnt work. Could someone tell me what i am doin wrong?


INSERT INTO `customer` (`custID`, `surname`, `forename`, `address`, `password`, `gender`, `birthdate`)
VALUES
(1111, 'Dhillon', 'Sharanjit', 'Newcastle', des_encrypt('Sh aDhil','somekey '), 'F', '1985-03-07'),
(1112, 'Smith', 'Michael', 'London', des_encrypt('Mi cSmit','somekey '), 'M', '1972-05-28');

Until you have some idea what you are doing wrong, we have no idea what your asking.

Be more specific.

Hi Shuby27

Welcome to TSDN!

When the user supplied the login credentials do you encrypt the password to compare it against the encrypted data in the table?
