Password Encryption - How do I do it?

[cczernia]

I currently have PWA (Purchase Without and Account) installed on my shopping cart. Though we don't want to require an account for purchases we are adding new functionality to our accounts and would like to encourage people to create an account. We figured we could do this on checkout_success simply by pressing a button. The only thing the user would have to enter is his password, everything else can be recovered from the order table.

 

The problem is that passwords are encrypted in osc and I don't know how to do this. So, does anyone know how to encrypt a password? Thanks in advance.

the password encryption code can be found in catalog/includes/functions/password_funcs.php (and another one in admin). use the functions in there to compare the password entered against the password in the db.

 

for an example of its use, look in login.php - about line 34.

i cant be of much help, but if you do figure this out, would you be willing to add it as a contribution? It sounds like a really great idea! I just hate the way that oscommerce deals with the checkout.
