I've got a simple registration script that has an input field of type
password. When I retrieve what is typed in the password field via:

$_REQUEST["password"];

I always get the same encoded string: 8f404d5399b6eb816fe579381a0e2e6c

First, does PHP automatically encrypt the password type fields and if
so what method does it use and can I disable it?

and second, is that the correct way to get the password from a simple
form or is there a better way of doing it?

Thanks, Greg
