VBulletin password encoding ?

Hi guys

i need to know what encoding does vbulletin use to store the passwords in DB ?

what i try to get done is make an addon that will, amongst other thigns, verify the user's login information from the vbulletin DB

i have tried md5 .. doesn't work

any idea please ?

 

$password = md5(md5($password_text) . $usersalt);

PHP:

 

Thanks

will try that right now

 

Thanks, it worked

one more question

i have this
$checkquery = mysql_query("select `userid` from `user` where `userid`='$userid'");
if (!mysql_result($checkquery, 0)) {
........
}

to check if the user exists ..

it does the checking correct .. it works .. however, every time it displays a warning telling that it can't jump on row 0 in mysql_result ..

what would be another (better) way to check if the user exists ?

Thanks

 

If you're making an addon, I suggest using vB's functions and classes.

// Make sure global.php is included.

if (!$userinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid))
{
    // User doesn't exist
}

PHP:

If you have to write custom queries, don't forget to add the TABLE_PREFIX infront of the table names. (Some users might not be using the default values)

 

ok thanks

will try to figure it out

 

Look at some of vB's file and see how they do stuff. They have a lot of handy functions.
