IE, the SESSION tutorial (which is still gone)

the MD5 tutorial by Roja? I cannot find these anymore.

I think it would be beneficial to alot for those tutorials to be brought back.
If you cannot find that tutorial, can someone point me in the direction of a better one?

I basically need to have people login through a form, then use MD5 to encrypt the password and make sure it is the same as the one in the database, then either return a true or false.
Thanks!!

search the forums, we've talked about such a function many times.

$password = md5($_POST['password']);

then create the comparison statements.
