TalkPHP - View Single Post - How would I use Email and password validation?

I've never used Captcha, but I know there is a useful tutorial on Sitepoint regarding them and PHP.

As for password validation, what kind of validation did you have in mind? If they match the database? This is what I generally do:
1. MD5 password.
2. Query database for all info for the given username.
3. Check passwords using an IF statement (so there are no SQL injections).
4. Login user.
