[Phplib-users] convert passwords submitted to phplib to upper case

[Robert V. O. <van...@un...>]

Hello,

I would like to convert passwords submitted to phplib to upper case. I tried
adding the 'strtoupper' function to our auth class, right before it queries
the dbase:

   $password = strtoupper($password);

   $this->db->query(sprintf("select user_id, perms ".
                             "        from %s ".
                             "       where username = '%s' ".
                             "         and password = '%s'",
                          $this->database_table,
                          addslashes($username),
                          addslashes($password)));

This doesn't work. It would be nice to do the addslashes () and the
strtoupper () all at the same time. Can the two functions be glued together
so they both operate on the $password at the same time? If not is there a
better way or place to do the conversion?

In what way does this not work?  Have you ensured that the passwords were
originally stored as being in upper case?
