Created encrypted password, doesn't work when logging in.

[whitedragond]

Ok, here's what I'm trying to do. I have a separate page that users can enter in their email, password, etc and I'm trying to encrypt their plain text password and then add them to the customers table.

 

I copied out the password encryption functions

 

 

/**********************************************************************/

 

// Return a random value

function tep_rand($min = null, $max = null) {

static $seeded;

 

if (!$seeded) {

mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

$seeded = true;

}

 

if (isset($min) && isset($max)) {

if ($min >= $max) {

return $min;

} else {

return mt_rand($min, $max);

}

} else {

return mt_rand();

}

}

 

 

// This function makes a new password from a plaintext password.

function tep_encrypt_password($plain) {

$password = '';

 

for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {

$password .= tep_rand();

}

 

$salt = substr(md5($password), 0, 2);

 

$password = md5($salt . $plain) . ':' . $salt;

 

return $password;

}

 

/**********************************************************************/

 

 

$customers_password = tep_encrypt_password('$customers_password');

 

 

 

 

I then add the info into the customers table. When I try to login, it errors

 

Error: No match for E-Mail Address and/or Password.

 

 

I then created a new account using OSCommerce, same password, then copy that new encrypted password into the user I created from another page and I am able to login just fine. It seems like the encryption isn't working for some reason or doing it incorrectly.

 

 

Do you know why this is?

 

 

thanks
