RE: Soliciting best approach for storing passwords . . .

Thanks, Peter,

Yeah, I had looked at ENCODE()/DECODE() and ABS_ENCRYPT()/ABS_DECRYPT() as 
possible tools, as well as some inherent PHP functionality.  My real question 
is more about database design than about the mechanics of encryption.  But I do 
appreciate the feedback.
