I was thinking, how can I do that. How can you put secured passwords like that. Well that answer is simple.

anyway, to encrypt or encode a password into mysql all you need to do is use the md5 function in php. for example, lets say i have a variable called $password and the value of $password is equals to mypass, this is how it would like:
$password = "mypassword";
so to encypt this so you can insert it into your sql database, just use the md5 function in php like this:
$password = "mypassword";
$password = md5($password );
now the value of $password is encoded and you can insert it into your databe. if you want a little snippet you can use try this:
Code:
<?
$password = "mypassword";
$password = md5($password );
echo $password;
?>
$password = "mypassword";
$password = md5($password );
echo $password;
?>
just copy and save the above code and save it with your notepad as md5.php and open it with your browser and it will display or show you the encrypted or encoded value of $password, it will not display "mypass" but no bumbers. The only thing you need is to make sure you have a PHP website, if you don't have php on your website, you can visit our friends at www.webune.com and signup with a PHP/MYSQL webhosting plan.
