I am trying to hash a password but I am not sure I understand sha-1

Thanks everyone for your input, I think I understand how this work now.

Mike, I have one question on your post though,

That 1st script that you layed out where php will hash the incoming password,

will that run on it’s own or will I need to tell php somwhere to say… oh by the way… do this…

just wondering … thanks,

Paul
