Hello,

I hope someone on here can help me but this is driving me mad. I've tried a few different setup's and none seem to work so here's my dilema.

I have a gameserver for which I am writing a game panel for ( for players and admins) the panel will allow the users to login (using there ingame usernames and passwords) and access their own information including punishment history, contact other players and additional admistration functions BUT my main issue is the login system.

I cannot find a WORKING way to encrypt the attempted password against the database password that is encrypted with the SAMP whirlpool plugin.

Here is what will happen when a user attempts to login

index.php -

If session is active forward to dashboard.php

If session is NOT active, display login information,
Once information is entered for is submitted to PHP_SELF
the attempted password is encrpyted from $_GET['password'] and stored to $attemptedpassword
The actual password is then fetched from the database and compared to the attempted password

If correct then they are forwarded to the dashboard

If not then the are redirected to the dashboard again where using and URL rewrite error message is displayed.

So to clarify i HAVE a login system all i need assistance with is the encrypting of the attempted password using our own SALT to compare against the database.

Thank you for reading and i hope there is someone who can help as this is the make or break for this project,

Gibson
