User Authentication (Using sha1)

[syriarose]

I am creating a login form. I am learning how to use SHA-1 to encrypt passwords. I used SHA-1 to encrypt the password that the user created during registration. In the database I inputted pretend username and password data, to have something to work with. I'm having problems getting my login form to work.\[code\]// Database Connection$con = getConnection();$sqlQuery = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) from Customers WHERE Email = '$email' and Password = sha1('$passLogin')") // Executing query$result = $con->mysql_result($sqlQuery, "0");if ($result == 0) { echo "Can not login, try again.";} else { echo "Login Good!";}\[/code\]
