Hello upenk23,
U cannot retrieve data which was encrypted by md5().

Re: Retrive the md5 encripted data
What do you mean by "retrieve"?
You can't get the original data back, because MD5 is a one way hash, not an encryption. If you want to get the original data back, use something like base64 encryption.

Use SELECT to retrieve any data from virtually any database whether encrypted or (in your case, with MD5) hashed. But you cannot unhash a hash, that's the whole point of a hash. Google for hashing and web app security for more about how to use hashes.
