What is the best php database...

Post by Gramware »

I am in the process of building a website for a popular game, RuneScape(runescape.php). In my website I want to have a players database, much like TeamXbox's GamerTag DB and Real Sims Online Player DB. I want to allow players to be able to edit there profile, but want it password protective. What I am asking really is, what is best FREE PHP database program that will let me be able to do that. I could do everything but the password protection part of it.

Make sure to only store a hash for the password field (and not a cleartext value)

And compare hash($password) with the password in the database.
