1. crypt question (search mail list)

   There was a post about a month ago about crypt and md5
   fields being compared to text values...
   (Can I search the archive... google lists... are these
   the same as what we see here?)
   
   Using PostgreSQL MD5 stored 'userpasswd' field with PHP 
   
     if(data[userpasswd] == md5(trypassword))
   
   is never true, even when I substr the first 16 characters.
   They appear the same if I print them! 
   
   Is this something to do with unicode?
   ...how do I compare a string value with a unicode string?

   This works for me:
   - $formpassword is the password entered on a webpage
   - $row_login[password] is the md5 saved password
   
   } elseif(md5($formpassword) <> $row_login[password]) {
        //
   }
