I encrypt user password by SHA('$Password') method but now i want to add "Forget Password Module" for which I need to decrypt it first before tell my user but I don't Know how to decrypt it. Please help me........ Hi, My understanding of 'SHA' command is to encrypt the password, however is there a way to decrypt the password after the encryption? Thanks $query = "INSERT INTO mismatch_user (username, password, join_date) VALUES ('$username', SHA('$password1'), NOW())"; 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 the strange thing is that when I go into the database and copy the encrypted password and paste it into the password field in my login page, I miraculously get into my website with NO problem. " How do I get the registered members Encrypted Passwords to be recognized by the database when the registered members decide to logging in with the password that they create? " Is there a easy fix for this? I appreciate ALL your help... thanks mrjap1 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. I need to find a way to store a password for connection to a remote database. I'm writing a program that will create a database on whatever server the user is using. Obviously, they will have to provide their username and password in order to create the database and have access to it. I need my program to get the information once (when they use the setup utility), then be able to store it so they can automatically connect to the database whenever my program is used. I plan using a php file for storage and include() to gain access to the info. I just don't have an idea for getting the information into the php file in the first place. Thanks for any ideas! Hi, I'm new here and I should say, I am a raw amateur at PHP and MySQL. All I can do is look at how others do similar things and try and adapt it. I have a MySQL table: Neil_Details. It has 4 columns: id, number, name, password. I can enter number and name from a csv file automatically, no problem. id is the Primary Key and will auto_increment. The column 'number' is the student numbers, name is their Chinese names. I want to take the column number and generate a password from each number in the column password. That's all! Quote$password = password_hash($number, PASSWORD_DEFAULT); People tell me, "Don't use their student numbers," but once I know how to do this in principle, I can splice part of the number and Chinese name together somehow and make a more secure password. I just want to learn how to do this in principle. Then I can do it for each class. So far I have this, which doesn't seem to work, although I get no errors in /var/log/apache2/error.log Could you please help me along a bit with some tips, pointers, links? My index.php first calls '/makePassword/form.html.php' This is called makePassword.php. Thanks for any tips! <?php //start PHP session session_start(); //check if login form is submitted if(isset($_POST['gettable'])){ //assign variables to post values $tablename = $_POST['tablename']; // login to the database dbname=allstudentsdb include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .

Hi Guys,
I have a very simple table called: registered_users
there is only 4 columns
column 1 = id
column 2 = username
column 3 = password
column 4 = salt
the password is hashed and salted when it's added to the table.
The problem is, that my username and password isn't being "seen" by the code so it's not sending me to the next page, it is only sending me back to the login page - not validated.
Please could you help me understand what i may be doing wrong here, it all looks okay to me but that's not obviously the case?
Here is the validation for username and password to login:
/* validate the username and the password */ if((!isset($_POST['username'])) || (strlen(trim($_POST['username'])) <5) || (trim($_POST['username']) != preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\_]/", "", trim($_POST['username'])))) { /* if is bad */ $my_error = 1; }else{ $username = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['username'])); } /* END validating username */ /* validate the password */ if((!isset($_POST['password'])) || (strlen(trim($_POST['password'])) <5) || (trim($_POST['password']) != preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\_]/", "", trim($_POST['password'])))){ /* if is bad */ $my_error = 1; }else{ $password = trim($_POST['password']); } /* END validating password */ /* if any of the post variables are invalid send back to the form page */ if($my_error != 0) { $_SESSION['error_message'] =$error_message; header("Location: index.php"); exit(); } /* FUNCTION TO CREATE SALT */ function createSalt(){ $string = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)); return substr($string, 0, 3); } /* check to see if username is in the table if not send back to login */ $query01 = "SELECT * FROM registered_users WHERE username = '$username'"; $result01 = mysql_query($query01) or die(mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($result01) != 1) { header("Location: index.php"); exit(); } $row = mysql_fetch_array($result01); $salt = $row['salt']; $hash = hash('sha256', $salt, $password); $query02 = "SELECT id FROM registered_users WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$hash'"; $result02 = mysql_query($query02) or die(mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($result02) !=1){ header("Location: index.php"); exit(); } $_SESSION['id'] = $row['id']; $_SESSION['valid_user'] = "yes"; header("Location: admin02.php"); exit(); ?>Thanks Andy Edited by Ch0cu3r, 05 July 2014 - 09:14 AM. Hey all. I am new to this forum and to PHP as a whole. I though I would try to make a login system using php and mysql. The login and register forms work great but I cannot seem to fully figure out how to let a user change their password. My code partially works. When the user types the correct old password and when the two new password forms confirm, the password changes and the database is updated and the user is taken to a page that tells him that his password was successfully changed. However, the problem is when the old password he types is different than the one in the database, the page that states password successfully changed also appears but the password is not changed in the database. The problem is thus with the SELECT statement. Can anyone please help me find whats wrong. It has been tormenting for a few hours now. Thank you in advance. . I used md5 encryption for the passwords. Here is the section of code that comes after the script makes sure that none of the forms are empty and that the passwords confirm . //Create SELECT query to verify that the old password is correct $qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE login='" . $_SESSION['SESS_USERNAME'] . "' AND passwd='".md5($_POST['opassword'])."'"; $result = mysql_query($qry); if($result) { //Create UPDATE query to replace old password with new password $updatepasswd="Update members set passwd='".md5($_POST['npassword'])."' where login='" . $_SESSION['SESS_USERNAME'] . "' AND passwd='".md5($_POST['opassword'])."'"; $update = mysql_query($updatepasswd); //Check whether the query was successful or not if($update) { header("location: changepasswordsuccess.php"); exit(); } else { die("Query failed"); } } else { header("location: passwordchange-failed.php"); } I am attempting to install PEAR however am very confused and I believe I have stuffed up something from which it will be very complicated to come back from. Firstly, for some reason I have the C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\go-pear.bat installation file, but I also have the C:\PHP\go-pear.bat installation file. Which one do I choose? And is the C:\PHP direcotry left over from an old installation. I have no idea. Further to that, I ran the go-pear.bat installation from the C:\PHP directory, I have a feeling this was the wrong decision. After installing everything it stated that it had updated my php.ini file, however this file was in the wrong directory and so I took the updated lines from the php.ini which put in a a new include_path and pasted them into the php.ini file in the C:\wamp... directory. Now when I go to the command prompt and type in pear here is the message I get: PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN is not set correctly. Please fix it using your environment variable or modify the default value in pear.bat The current value is: .\php.exe I have followed a remedy to this which is included he http://www.pear-forum.org/topic2413.html However still to no avail. I am further confused why I have a C:\PHP folder and why it is seperate from my WAMP folder. Further to that, when I try to install PEAR from my WAMP folder and click on C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\go-pear.bat I get the following error message: phar "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\PEAR\go-pear.phar" does not have a signaturePHP warning require_once(phar://go-pear.phar/index.php>: failed to open stream: phar error: invalid url or non-existent phar "phar://go-pear.phar/index.php" in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\PEAR\go-pear.phar n line 1236 (and another message that looks very similar) ----- Note: the installation instructions I am following are located here > http://trac.symfony-project.org/wiki/HowToInstallPearOnWindowsWithWamp ------ So basically I am stuck. Why is it so difficult to install PEAR and how do I simply get it working? Hi there
I am just finalising my first ever PHP/MYSQL project and I am worried about where to safely keep my connection credentials for the SQL DB.

Ok so heres the deal we need to figure out what type of value this is. If we know the type of the value it will be easier to decode. First example: http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/playermodel.ashx?rpis=Wn75LC7tNRPCzuCGiHcGa86qfjGywE9l952YIGX-xFA= The value is the "Wn75LC7tNRPCzuCGiHcGa86qfjGywE9l952YIGX-xFA" Second Example http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/playermodel.ashx?rpis=XkwTJb7m$0Rl3YjPpAPwyQ== The value is the "XkwTJb7m$0Rl3YjPpAPwyQ=" Thank you for you time. Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good information regarding downloading files. I'm looking into creating a relatively simple download system, where people will be sent a link say (download.php?id=dnjwaAYFDAg734) (where id would be an encrypted value, and obviously a lot longer!). That script would then decode the id number and allow the user to download the appropriate file. Any help would be hugely grateful as I'm a little unsure of where to go and a quick look through google doesn't show too much up. Thanks Edd Hi, The array shown below is causing problems. I know this for sure because when I comment the array out the script runs. Is it: 'pswrd1'=>SHA1('$_POST['pswrd1']') inside the array causing the script not to run??
