I'm so close but can't quite get it. I've created a user with the crypt'd password "test" (aaqPiZY5xR5l.). If I enter the following code it works fine:
AND $bbuserinfo['password'] != crypt("test","aa")

But if I use the password variable it no longer works:
AND $bbuserinfo['password'] != crypt($password,"aa")

I've even defined a test variable which works:
$oldpassword = "test";
.....
AND $bbuserinfo['password'] != crypt($oldpassword,"aa")

This seems to indicate that the variable $password isn't actually "test" at this point. Any ideas what's going on, or how I can see the actual value of $password?
