Trouble with PHP and Mysql queries using md5 encryption

Question

I am using a normal php/mysql insert query and use md5 to encrypt the password

This is the INSERT query:

$sql = mysql_query(\"INSERT INTO user (username,         


        

Answer 1

Assuming $username and $password are in fact the same... have you checked to make sure the on table users the password column character length is big enough to hold the whole MD5 hash?

Got an example of the calculated and store MD5 hashes?
