password/login system in php
- by Jonathan
For a login system in php would this be a suitable outline of how it would work:
users types in username and password, clicks login button.
Checks if user exists in database,
if it does, then retrieve the salt
for that user
hash the password and
salt (would this be done on the
client or server side? I think
client side would be better, but php
is server side so how would you do
this?)
check value against value in
database,
if the values match then
user has typed in correct password
and they are logged in.
