There's something going on here. I've encrypted the password like above:

PHP Code:


			
$md5reg_password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['reg_password']);

Then again in the query:

PHP Code:


			
user_pass = "'.md5($reg_password).'",

When I try to login with a password that's been encrypted, it doesn't work. If I do the following:

PHP Code:


			
echo $reg_password

The password will show as it should - plain text. Now, If I remove both of the md5 stuff, then register and try to login with them it works fine.
