Topic: Encrypted password
Hello,
id like to use account and passwords from punbb forums in my other php thing. But when I look with phpmyadmin onto password, they are not lookin' as the ones I use. Are they somehow encrypted? How do decrypt 'em?
Unfortunately no one can be told what PunBB is - you have to see it for yourself.

They are hashed, which means they can not be decrypted.
Then how to unhash 'em / use them in another log in form?
You can't unhash something, that would be decrypting it.

So then, how it is workin' in punBB forums? What to do to make log in form using same accounts/passwords as in punBB forum?
Hash the password that the user provides, the same way PunBB does, and compare the hashes.
Heh, good idea mate, thanks...
