Background I started my career with C then move to C++ and finally stuck on with Java ever since late 1995. I learnt other languages like VB, Basic, Fortran, Pascal (I loved it!) and recently php and some smattering of perl, lisp etc. Yes I also dabbled in C#. As you know structurally all modern...

Typing a keyword like java in the location box does an automatic search and takes you to the first link it finds. It fails when the link contains a (dot). This is useful for "I'm lucky" kind of search.

I have a problem. My current login system works as follows:

The user inputs their username and password and hits Login. Before the browser sends this information, a javascript catches the password and replaces it with an md5 hash (combined with the username). On my server, the username is queried in the database, pulling up the password. The md5 is regenerated, and is compared with the hash that the user sent.

Now, the problem is that this scheme leaves the password unencrypted in my database.

The problem is, I simply have no idea about how verify the login without having the actual password somewhere. I don't want it sent over the network, but I don't want to store it plainly in the database either. Any suggestions?

Hi there. I think this may be a bigger question than really admits of an answer in this forum, but I'll give it a shot anyway.

I'm working on a website in which I'd like to include the option to vote on pages, or leave comments. Thus far I've figured out that this involves forms and cookies, but I'm having all kinds of trouble. It's been months since I've done any sort of coding, and my PHP skills were never good anyway.

So say we have some text links that point to a javascript function, that updates a hidden form with the value input (say, a vote from 1 to 10) and submits the form. can the form submit itself to the same script? -- could a form on view.php have a form action that points to view.php?

how do I set up cookies that won't expire and thus have values overwritten the next time a given user comes and wants to vote, but that will also not allow multiple votes on the same things from the same user?

lots of questions. I've looked around online and gotten swamped. Maybe someone could just recommend a good book on PHP...

thanks-
Damon

In building my nice little blog system, I'm running into the following two problems:

Problem 1:
Currently I cannot run image magick as my wonderous site admin has not installed it.  This is - apparently - preventing me from using Text_CAPTCHA from PEAR.  I need a captcha solution that does not require said image manipulation libraries.  Alternatively, if someone knows of a way I can install image magick into my userspace, and NOT have to convince my admin to recompile php, please let me know.

Problem 2:

Additionally, my authentication for administration interface is currently being done via plaintext passwords.  This is - for obvious reasons - insecure.  I was attempting to find a solution using a client-side javascript that would create an md5 hash of the password and a randomly generated "key", send same to php processing form via post, and then the php form processor would use the same randomly generated "key" (I'm currently using "mt_rand()") and the user's password (retreived from the database), combine/hash and compare.  I ran into problems with transmitting the "key" to client side, and maintaining the SAME key (without sending it back, in the clear) on the server side.
The major problems I'm running into, though is the transmission of the key, no matter how I find a way to do it, it still shows up clearly in going to the client side ($rnd = mt_rand() will still show the number client-side when echo $rnd, and therefore it is being clearly transmitted).  Hmm, perhaps I could hash it server side, and then reverse the hash?  But md5 hashes are one-way, yes?  I'd need a crypt for that, and despite my best tries haven't located a good one. ARRGH.
Security is a bitch when you're not using pre-written. ...ESPECIALLY when you're a beginner.
