I'm trying to do some simple (?) user validation using sessions. I have created a member signup form, where a user's info is written to a text file. Their password is encrypted using crypt($password). Now trying to match the stored password with what the user enters in the login box doesn't seem to work. encrypt() seems to have infinite variations on the same password, making it seem as though the passwords don't match. Is there a simpler way to do this (besides using MySQL?), or am I just missing something here? Thanks for the help.
