or encrypt a password in php using mysql encryption I have been having
some struggles getting this to work. (as is we are comparing a
cleartext password to an encrypted password in the code).
I don't know MySQL Select statements in gory detail, but doesn't it
support something like
SELECT password('cleartextPsw') as encUserPsw
Then just compare the encrypted versions for a match.
