sound good. are you using actually using that ? And can you show us how to do it ? we'd love to see your guide.

are you using actually using that ?

As Said by runrunforest

Yes and No.

I am still using it on my Demo website coz have no time to update it. But the Website Directory you see here uses the exact system that I described.

The query that is executed when you visit the directory is like this:-

PHP Code:

  SELECT * FROM directory WHERE visible = '1';

If I have moderation of links enabled in the directory then a value of 0 is inserted in the visible column which restricts it from public display and put it in moderation queue instead. Then when I visit the moderation page, the following query is executed:-

PHP Code:

  SELECT * FROM directory WHERE visible = '0';

Atlast when I approve a link, the following UPDATE query runs:-

PHP Code:

  UPDATE directory SET visible = '1' WHERE id = '$unique_id';

See how simple and convenient that is

Thats truely fascinating as I just stared basics of PHP.

Vinayaks, I beg you to post the complete tutorial with new method I want to learn them as soon as possible.

webwizzy · #24 27-10-2008, 01:15 PM

well.. I had already described it. It isn't hard to implement it now. Just go through this tutorial carefully and am sure you'd be able to do it.

The rest of the parts i.e. after the email despatch will come soon. Its simply not possible now due to lack of time, but in a month for sure.

Btw.. my name is Vinayak and s is apostrophe

why wouldn't you use md5 instead sha256 ? for encode password

webwizzy · #26 27-10-2008, 06:03 PM

SHA-256 is a 256-bit (32-byte) message digest hash and is meant to provide 128 bits of security against collision attacks.

Thus it is very strong, much much stronger than md5. And there are news even that md5 has been ****ked already.

webwizzy · #27 22-11-2008, 06:44 PM

Just a small update:-

As with PHP 5, we now have an inbuilt hash function to use SHA256. So in register.php, simply remove the requirement of sha256.inc.php (its not needed anymore unless you are still using PHP 4)

Replace this line:-

PHP Code:

  $encrypted_password=sha256($password);

With this:-

PHP Code:

  $encrypted_password=hash('sha256',$password);

Thats it

This post helped me to create a registration form and i find the password encrypted using SHA. Im also creating a login windows in which the password has to be decrypted and checked for login. i need help on this. kindly create a post/thread and show me the steps involved in it.

webwizzy · #29 28-01-2009, 11:21 AM

You cannot decrypt it. Login would be secure as well.

What you have to do is to simply:

-Create a login form
-Store the password input in a variable
-Convert it to SHA encrypted form and store it in another variable $encrypted_pass
-Match the $encrypted_pass with the password stored in table and login.

Hi All

Just posting this to try and keep interest in this thread alive.

I am looking forward to the last part of this tutorial that deals with the user maintenance stuff. I have a friend who just e-mailed me that he could not remember his password lol

webwizzy · #31 02-03-2009, 07:43 PM

haha.. sure, I'll get this maintenance stuff done this week. It will include:-

- Resending of activation mails by user themselves
- Forgot Password feature
- An overview of the login process.

prakashm88 · #32 30-06-2009, 10:22 AM

hi,

how can use the encrypted password for user login. I mean if the user enters the password for login, how can i check the correctness in the login page.

thnaks in advance
Prakash

webwizzy · #33 30-06-2009, 08:56 PM
