Coolstuff had a quote like that on the original block library.

And we'll ITopic this if it gets enough blocks in here - so keep things coming!



This is a very good guide. I'll make sure to remember it for Coders' Shed.  smile

BTW, I have a question on Codersshed.

And so you are saying, that if you don't use these measures, someone can look through the PHP and find the passwords?  yikes

well no, you can't look at the PHP that a website uses

but if they got hold of the database then they could see the passwords in plain text instead of random letters and numbers

nice guide

If you don't escape and don't hash, then it could be gotten through pretty easily. Otherwise it's possible, but difficult.

There, I added a link to the hash() function, which supports a bunch of algorithms, including SHA-256.

Scratch solves it by putting cookies on the user's commuter that say their account, so that if one of the user's accounts is banned, they can detect it.

What if someone deleted their cookies?

That's why I don't bother putting it. It's more obvious to delete cookies than to use a proxy.
