how to implement phpass into login
i am having difficulty implementing phpass into my login procedure - not knowing how to implement it alongside my current code. i have two questions regarding the matter
1) i need to validate the hashed password entered by the user at this line with the hashed password in the database:
//select all rows where the username and password match the ones submitted by the user
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '".$email."' AND `password` = '".$password."'");
i have been looking for an example on the internet that shows this but cannot find any. how can i implement phpass at this point?
2) the password field in my database is currently varchar(32) - do i need to make any adjustments to this to prevent truncuation when hashing new user passwords?
here is the entirety of my code for reference.
<?php
// include the hashing class
require ("resources/phpass/PasswordHash.php");
// if the user has submitted the form
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
// protect the posted value then store them to variables
$email = protect($_POST['email']);
$password = protect($_POST['password']);
// setup header
include "resources/php/header.php";
//select all rows from the table where the username matches the one entered by the user
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '".$email."'");
$num = mysql_num_rows($res);
// setup display area
echo '<div class="c13"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="69%" align="left">';
//check if there was not a match
if($num == 0){
//if not display an error message
echo 'The <b>e-mail address</b> you have supplied does not exist in our database!<p>
<li><a href="index.php">Try again</a></li>
<li><a href="register.php">Register a new account</li>
';
// close display area
echo '</tr></td></table></div>';
// setup footer
include "resources/php/footer.php";
exit;
}
else { //if there was continue checking
//select all rows where the username and password match the ones submitted by the user
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `email` = '".$email."' AND `password` = '".$password."'");
$num = mysql_num_rows($res);
//check if there was not a match
if($num == 0){
//if not display error message
echo 'The <b>password</b> you supplied does not match the one for that e-mail address in our database!<p>
<li><a href="index.php">Try again</a></li>
<li><a href="register.php">Register a new account</li>
<li><a href="forgot.php">Password recovery</li>';
// close display area
echo '</tr></td></table></div>';
// setup footer
include "resources/php/footer.php";
exit;
}
many thanks in advance

protect does this:

Answer
You might want to check the phppass manual
Looks like CheckPassword() does the password validation. You should retrieve the user's password hash and call it:
// Base-2 logarithm of the iteration count used for password stretching
$hash_cost_log2 = 8;
// Do we require the hashes to be portable to older systems (less secure)?
$hash_portable = FALSE;
$hasher = new PasswordHash($hash_cost_log2, $hash_portable);
if ($hasher->CheckPassword($password, $hash)) { //$hash is the hash retrieved from the DB
$what = 'Authentication succeeded';
} else {
$what = 'Authentication failed';
}
Also, according to the manual, you need to make sure your password field is of type: varchar(60)
