Yes I know it works like this, but the thing is that I store user
information
in the database like: host, user, pass, etc. and then from a
controller
script I retrieve information from the correct database, according to
the
details of a certain user. So I don't want them be shown as plain
text.
So I'm not talking about mysql users, just "users". They happen to be
users that can also connect to the database... also to ftp...

What I would like to is to give mysql_connect() say, give a parameter
to
tell whether the password I pass to it is encrypted or not.
