case-sensitive?

Anon

Hi there!

I wonder how i can make a case-sensitive pasword check? I get the password from my sql database with a SQl-command and then i want to comapre that password with a password entered in a form.

so now I have a variable with a password from the db and i have a variable with a password from a user, How do i compare them to get a case-sensitive check-up???

As far as I know, PHP is case-sensitive when it comes to string comparison. So "a" would not equal "A" when you compare them.

Use the MD5() function to save the password in the database. This is a one-way hash function that you can compare like this:

if (md5($typed_in_pw) != md5($db_pw)) {
echo("password didn't compare");
}

for your users' security, it's a good thing to has the passwords and it will be case sensitive.
