login.php question.

[10sion]

Im trying to rewrite this, I am able to use all of vb's functions, I just need to "redo" it.

if (!verify_authentication($username, $password, $md5password, $md5password_utf, true))

is the function I saw, what exactly does it do? and what are the values of $password, $md5password, and $md5password_utf supposed to be? and what is the purpose of true? I cant figure it out, all I really need to do is verify there username/password and set a cookie/session... any suggestions?
