When inserting a new user into a database i want to hash the password. this is what i have got.
static function getLastId(){
global $database;
$sql = 'SELECT ID from users ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1' ;
$result = $database->query($sql);
return $result;
}
static function create_user($username,$password ){
global $database;
$lastID = self::getLastId() + 1;
$ePassword = $database->escape_value($password);
$hash = hash('sha256', $lastID . $ePassword);
$sql = "INSERT INTO ". self::$table_name . " (username, password, first_name, last_name, power ) VALUES ";
$sql .= "('{$database->escape_value($username)}', '{$hash}', 'asd' , 'asd', 'user') ";
$query = $database->query($sql);
return ($query)? true : false;
}
when i do a print or var dump of $lastID I get 13. however looking a the database i only have 1 user me, with an ID of 1. I even truncated the table, but i am still getting 13. not sure why.
basically the idea is that i want to append $lastID to the password, so that it is much harder to reverse. I need to know what the next ID is going to be, for login purposes.
