htaccess passwords & mysql passwords question! Please look!

[brianb]

hello,

I want to create a password within MySQL...like so:

hey = 7aee36ec221b48f3

That's what MySQL is setting that password to using the PASSWORD function.

Now, what I'd like to do is also use that encrypted password in a HTACCESS file to protect a particular directory.

Are these encryption schemes compatible? Should I be looking into something else?

I mean, if worse comes to worse I could just store an HTACCESS encrypted password inside my mysql database so they both match, but I'd like to do it the most efficient way possible.

Please let me know your thoughts, and any coding examples are always appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
