I am trying to make some counter php/mysql code work that has problems as follows...
The code was written using mysql3.23 md5, but I'm running a previous version that does not use md5 so am converting to use php4.0.5's md5. My problem is, I don't understand md5'ing very well. I can encrypt a password with no problem as in...
$password=md5($password)
...but how the heck do you get the real password back? When I pass the encrypted version to md5 it seems to just further encrypt the encryption!

Please help this newbie to php/mysql.
Many thanks in advance.
