Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying Password - orale...

WOW, thank you for that.
Guess I should have kept that question to myself and dove into the  
manuals a little more, but
didn't think I would get crucified for asking help. Everyone has to  
start somewhere and no one knows everything when they start.
I agree that one should get a degree or maaany hours of work behind  
them before entering the world and taking jobs, but
at least I am asking for direction and help to become the wonderful  
programer you already are.

PS: if it makes you feel any better, I am making this for myself and  
I do not have "lead programer" on my CareerBuilder profile.
