Histro,
A lot of my users want me to look up their password for them. How do I decipher the mySql returned value? Thanks. __________________ |

The password is not kept in the mysql database. An encrypted token is kept in the database, so upon login you encrypt the user supplied pass and compare it with the mysql token. Basically, you cannot recover/know their passwords, unless you implement some brute force approach of trying all possible passwords.
What you can do is change their password. I personally don't think it is a good idea, for a forum/script whatever to keep the real user passwords. __________________ Are you looking for an SEO Consultant?
