md5 crypting in vbulletin

[abdoelmasry]

Hi men
im trying to develop script for vbulletin

i will ask the user to enter his password im forum

i should validate password from database

i know that vbulletin use md5() to crypt passwords but
i need to know it do that

ex:

i tryed to check the password 123456 but this way:


[PHP]$gtdata=mysql_query("select password from user where username='abdoelmasry'");
$cdata=mysql_fetch_row($gtdata);

if(md5($cdata[0])=="123456"){
echo "Ok Go";
}
else{
echo "Invalid Password";
}[/PHP]
im sure that the password is 123456

why i cann't check it by md5() ??

I am not sure what you are asking, but let me try to help. If vbulletin has the password stored as an md5, then you will want to check the password by creating the md5 of the password you are checking. So I would try:

[PHP]$gtdata=mysql_query("select password from user where username='abdoelmasry'");
$cdata=mysql_fetch_row($gtdata);

if($cdata[0]==md5("123456")){
echo "Ok Go";
}
else{
echo "Invalid Password";
}[/PHP]
