ENCODE

[Joel Fentin]

I'm trying to work out a database with names, addresses, and password. The
usual stuff.

I don't want to use ENCRYPT for the password because there is no way to see
what the password is. So I tried ENCODE which is two way. ENCODE seems to
wipe out leading zeros. Any suggestions?

Here is my perl code for changing a password:
$dbh->do("UPDATE user SET PW = ENCODE($password,'walrus') WHERE
ShortUserName = '$id'");
