It works for me, after fixing a couple of typos in the code I posted (I've fixed them above as well). I used code like this to test it:

PHP Code:

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

if (checkPassword($username, $password))
   echo "Accept";
else 
   echo "Denied"; 


One thing: I don't know where your password is coming from, but I think the vb code runs the password through md5 in javascript before sending it, but also has to allow for browsers with javascript disabled. So when it checks the password, it checks both ways. I guess you could do the same thing by using this code:

PHP Code:

if (checkPassword($username, $password) OR checkPassword($username, md5($password)))
   echo "Accept";
else 
   echo "Denied";
