i need to encrypt the password and want to submit in the database so that whenever i am seeing the password it wants should be in the encrypted manner.
How can i do it?

In PHP use md5($password)

Depending on the database you’re using you could use the built in encryption.

if you’re using MySQL try this

Code:

UPDATE users SET password=md5('thepassword') WHERE user='theuser';

when your checking against a database to md5 the input aswell.

I would recommend using PHP md5() function .

You can also use base64_encode and base64_decode functions.

I m looking for a good php string for date, that can output 20-May-07

Any advice

Use this code

Code:

echo date("d-F-y");

while the user entering the username and password if he forget password
he wants to click the forget password link and he wants to get the new password by entering his emailid and username, so that he receive the new password in his mailid, if any body knows coding for this send me.

u can make classes for that purpose.

that would be very long coding, so use classes

Rather use phpBB/vbulletin.

Is it possible install ffmpeg in my localhost?

I want to display the error message below the text box in which
If I didnt enter any thing means the message Enter the Username and Enter the password wants to display below the Username and password textbox respectively

for that You will probably have to stick the error message in a session or in the url when you redirect.

for that You will probably have to stick the error message in a session or in the url when you redirect.

even then all you would need is a simple $_GET[] to determine if the user has showd up here in error. they goto the processing page after logging in, on an invalid pass they get sent back to login.php?q=e or something and voila, error.
