Hey, so I figure you guys are the best people to consult with my issues.

I develop applications and I'm trying out new things. I'm currently setting up a gaming community forum with a youtube page and I will act as a hot spot for gamers to come and chill out and submit there videos for more youtube exposure.

Anyway, to cut to the chase I would like to develop my own portal application that uses the forums databases. I'm coding in VB.NET using PHP as a gateway to connect. However I've noticed the database table contents for the registered users are encrypted.

I need to find out what form of encryption they use or how they are encrypted so I can match the Applications submitted credentials to the encrypted ones in the Databases.

Thanks in advanced.
