How would I go about retreiving the number characters a user's password has and then displaying them in *?

Thanks

You can't reverse an md5 hash. You'd have to store the strlen($bbpassword) in a new field when they change or first enter it.

(Forgot about this

)

Ok, howabout just getting the number of characters in the password then?

even that's impossible after md5 hashing the pw.

as overgrow said, you have to store the length when they enter it.

Alright, thanks anyway.

I'll try it that way but I guess i will have to think of another of doing my new hack

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
