vb.org Archive - View Single Post - md5(md5($login_password) . $salt) in MySQL

kh99 · #2 11-05-2012, 12:22 PM

I find that this works:

Code:

SELECT * FROM user WHERE md5(password) = md5(md5(CONCAT(md5('password'), salt))))

I added the extra md5() because otherwise I was getting this

Code:

#1267 - Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='

and I don't know why. This is my test server, so it could just be a problem with the way I have it configured.

Anyway, are you sure what you're using for $password is the plain text password? I ask because if you're using what comes from a vbulletin login form, it could be blank because it normally clears the plain text password field.
