Thanks, but I took that line out and I still have the same problem. I think earlier I decoded the password from the database instead of encoding the form password, and that worked (if I remember rightly)... If that's the case, why are the two base64_encoded strings not showing to PHP as a match?

EDIT
I just tried it again. Using the code below instead works fine, but I can't understand why it should make any difference? Also, since the password will be stored in a cookie I kind of need it encrypted... Maybe I should just add another column in the database for the md5($pass)?


$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$pass = strip_tags($pass);
$pass = stripslashes($pass);
//$pass = base64_encode($pass);
$pass2 = $array['password'];
$pass2 = base64_decode($pass2);
