PHP Variable encryption using PHP on NT/

[Anon]

Hi!,

I know the crypt() function doesn't work running php under windows NT, is there an NT equivalant for storing encrypted password in a database

or how can I encrypt a field/variable using PHP under nt?
?

Thanks

A common way to encrypt a password in php is to store the md5sum of the password and compare the md5 of the user submitted password (at logon) to the stored version.

Crypt functions can work under windows if you include the appropriate dll.
