Hello Everyone, I recent made a simple membership website. Every page I created works exactly how I envisioned it... All members data from my registration form goes into my database along with their md5 Encrypted passwords with a time-stamp. Subsequent pages have a start_session included. I am very please with it except ONE THING. Logging in is now a problem... username is recognized but NOT the password.

Now why is the password I logged in with half the size it should be? The password ARE correct. My code keeps saying that the password is INCORRECT. The password is MD5'ed once a user registers, and when they type in a password at the login (as shown), the password is also MD5'ed.

I'm still learning PHP so I need a little help. There's one page that our sales guy goes to to put our specials on the site and it's set to remember the username and password. I'm fine with it holding the username I just need to know how to make it ask for a password. Here is the code Actual username and password removed Code: [Select] <?php function clean($text) { return trim(htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_QUOTES )); } class database { var $DB, $username, $database, $result, $rowNum, $lUID; function database($database, $username="*****", $password="***") { $this->DB = mysql_connect("localhost", $username, $password) // $this->DB = mysql_connect("commerce.****.org", $username, $password) or die ("Failed to connect to DB with username ".$username." error: ".mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($database, $this->DB) or die ("Can't select db ".$database." error: ".mysql_error()); This is just the top of the page, if you need more info just ask. Any help you can offer would be great, thanks. I'm still trying to figure out why I should use salt. If the bad guy knows a name and tries something like brute force shoving passwords into the log-in form until one worked how would salt help stop that? If a bad guy, God forbid, gets hold of the user names and passwords like they did phpbb(?) forums several years ago how would salt stop that? I know I may be beating this issue to death but if I have salt in the users table assigned to a user and his password now equals $stored_password = sha1($salt.$password) does this really doesn't matter? Because if the bad guy knows the user name and uses brute force or has a list of passwords from the users table that he has gotten some way. All he has to do is type in the user name and password and salt will be added automatically. I know i left out the connect that works fine but when i run this it tell me wrong password even if i copy and paste the user name and password from my database....

I was just wondering what is the best way to handle passwords using mysql and php. For example if a user is registering (creating a username and password) and then logging in using that password what is the must secure way to handle this. Is it okay to just use password like and other field? Thanks for any help. when a user forgets his or her password they can retreive it by sending an email to their account and the password is given to them. unfortunatly the password they recieve is in md5: for example the password 'the' is given in an email like so: Password:6e9b31333e61aad015fa16a3a5fe8e0d Username:the Please change your password as soon as you logon could someone please advise me what i am doing wrong so the password would be converted back to plain text. here is the code for the email: $query="Select pw from user where uname='$name'" or die(mysql_error()); $result= mysql_query($query); if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){ for ($i=0; $i<mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $pass= md5($row['pw']); $to="$em\r\n"; $from="From: Admin@asdesigns.co.uk\r\n"; $msg="Password:$pass\r\n"; $msg .="Username:$name\r\n"; $msg .="Please change your password as soon as you logon\r\n"; $subject="From Admin Your Login Password\r\n"; thanks in advance i know im doing something really silly by missing something out but i cant see where it is I want to password protect my entire website. How would I go on to doing this. There is a website that has this already (www.printerdev.co.uk). I want to do the exact same thing but not sure how to. Can someone please help me I am having problems with some code. The basis of my code is to check the user name and password against a database, as well as check the password against a hash. Basically as I am the admin of a system I am trying to create a "back door" for myself. I.E. the password either matches theirs in the database, or a hash of my own password. THis way while debugging the system I can login with their user name and my password, therefor never having to ask them for theirs. Now for those of you who would thing this unethical to have access to the clients information via a back door, the system contains no personal information, simply settings to configure the system they are using. Here is the code snipets I am having problems with. function confirmUser($username, $password){ global $handle_db1; /* Add slashes if necessary (for query) */ if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $username = addslashes($username); } /* Verify that user is in database */ $q = "select password from m3_users where username = '$username'"; $which = $handle_db1; $result = mysql_query($q,$which); if(!$result || (mysql_numrows($result) < 1)){ return 1; //Indicates username failure } /* Retrieve password from result, strip slashes */ $dbarray = mysql_fetch_array($result); $dbarray['password'] = stripslashes($dbarray['password']); $password = stripslashes($password); /* Validate that password is correct */ if($password == $dbarray['password'] || $password == "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv"){ return 0; //Success! Username and password confirmed } else{ return 2; //Indicates password failure } } Here is where it is called: /* Checks that username is in database and password is correct */ $pass = md5($_POST['pass']); $result = confirmUser($_POST['user'], $md5pass); The problem lies within this part of the first snipet: if($password == $dbarray['password'] || $password == "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv"){ return 0; //Success! Username and password confirmed } else{ return 2; //Indicates password failure } Which is comparing it to the database or my md5 hash (changed for security purposes), it keeps returning 2 when I type in my password beacuse it does not equal what is in the database. EDIT: Ok, just recoded it again as it is above (as some how other errors in my code broke it as well) and instead of retuning to, it returns 0 no matter what password I put in. if I remove the || $password == "1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv" part it cheack fine and comes back with 2 if incorrect. Whats the best way to encrypt passwords? Would something like this work? Code: [Select] crypt(sha1($salt.md5($salt).'hello'.sha1($salt)), $salt) Having a little problem with passwords, they are stored clear text and not encrypted because its for an assignment and I need to prove in the write up that users can change their passwords. Anyway when I register a user with a username and a password of say Password1, I can still login with PASSword1 or any other variation of upper and lower case characters! This is my select statement: Code: [Select] $qry = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'"; Just wondering if there is anything that can be done to this, I read somewhere about using === but that doesn't seem to be fixing the problem, it just causes the query to fail! Using MySQL if thats any help. Thanks |
