466139	2006-06-26 04:29:00	Hi all I have a section of a site that is "members only" I have the members usernames and passwords stored in a database unencrypted, I have a function that will take the username and password from the database and write them to the .htpasswd file that controls access to this area The problem is, i would like the passwords in the .htpasswd file to be encrypted with the appropriate encryption, but i can't find out how to do this yes i have googled and there are loads of sites that allow me to use their "online password encrypting form" but that aint what i want, i want something that works on my own server either something that encrypts the password (into the appropriate encryption) when it is put into the database or something i can add to my function that exports the data from the database to the .htpasswd file Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated as i am starting to lose my hair, and in Invercargill that means quite a cool draught Cheers	Morgenmuffel (187)
