[Resolved] PHP form sends a password

[lukatchikm]

Hey all,

As you all know, when you send a password VIA a PHP form to an SQL database using MD5 encryption, the password can not be decrypted.

In a project of my own, I would like users to be able to log-in. In the event that a user forgets their password, they should be able to query the database and retrieve the password they had entered, in readable format.

MD5 does not support decryption, so are there any encryption method(s) (or any other coding tips) that will allow me to do do this?

Thanks for your help, Mike

I think [man]mcrypt/man is your answer. I found this interesting post while searching the forum. Just search for mcrypt here.
