I'm using sha256 to encrypt the password. I can save the sha256 encrypted password in mysql. But i can't login with the same clause.

Insert code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$username = $_POST['uusername'];
$passcode = $_POST['ppasscode'];
$userflag = $_POST['uuserflag'];
//$passcodeen = hash('sha256',$passcode);
$passcodeen = hash('sha256', (get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($ppasscode) : $ppasscode));
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","charles","charles") or die("connection failed with DB:".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("sessiondb");
$query = "INSERT INTO users(username,passcode,userflag) values('$username','$passcodeen','$userflag')";

Select code:

<?php 
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

    @mysql_connect("localhost","charles","charles") or die("Connection failed".mysql_error());
    @mysql_select_db("sessiondb") or die("Database doesn't exist".mysql_error());
    //get user input
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $ppasscode = $_POST['ppasscode'];
    //$passcodeen = hash('sha256', $ppasscode);
    $passcodeen = hash('sha256', (get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($ppasscode) : $ppasscode));
    //get session value from mysql
    $query = @mysql_query("select username, userflag from users where username ='$username' and passcode = '$passcodeen'") or die("Query execution failed".mysql_error());

Is there something wrong? I'm very confused. Thanks.

sha256 hash php

The first thing is to make a comparison of functions of SHA and opt for the safest algorithm that supports your programming language (PHP).

Then you can chew the official documentation to implement the hash() function that receives as argument the hashing algorithm you have chosen and the raw password.

sha256 => 64 bits sha384 => 96 bits sha512 => 128 bits

The more secure the hashing algorithm is, the higher the cost in terms of hashing and time to recover the original value from the server side.

$hashedPassword = hash('sha256', $password);
