Thanks for your answer.
What I mean, though, is that I need to connect to the database
with an password that is encrypted, like this:
mysql_connect('host', 'user',
'5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8');
I store that password in database, and want to have it encrypted.
I am not talking about passwords that are in the mysql table,
but instead a table of my own that has the user information.
So if somebody gets into my db server, he wont see the passwords as
they are,
but instead encrypted.
