Which way passwords are encrypted?

I need to import some users from an old forum to the user database.

I do know how to put the usernames, emails,... in the database but i need to know how to encrypt the passwords so these users can login!

right now i've got all the users without encryptet passwords, so is there a function i can use to write the passwords into the user table correctly?

i guess the funtion i'm looking for is somewhere inbb_func_regusr.php - but where??

thanx for your help, great forum!!

miniBB stores all passwords one-way encoded by MD5 algorithm. This is defined in a function writeUserPwd() of bb_cookie.php file.

I guess, mySQL has a built-in function for MD5.

thanks, just found the function myself :)

i just needed to fill in the passwords via

$encrypted_password = md5($password);

works fine!

cheers
