[FX.php List] FM accts vs. acct & password fields?

[Glenn Singleton]

Bob,

I am sure with PHP that is no problem, but what I am asking is that I want
to create using the FM client crypted passwords that can then be read &
decrypted by PHP.

I want the clients set up in FM but able to be used on the net.

I am sure SMARTPILL is one answer but I am hoping for a non-plugin answer,
that will of course run on a server.

Regards
Glenn Singleton

Glenn,

Using the PHP crypt() function it's really simple to encrypt a password and
then decrypt it when needed.

I'm not an expert on encryption by any means, but it only took me a few
minutes of fooling with the crypt() function to get it working well; you can
check it out on the PHP.net site.

Best,

Bob Patin
