Passwords and Scripting

While I've been scripting for about two years, I have always had a problem with passwords. I suppose I shouldn't mention that, considering I have three live scripts floating around the internet, but while they are secure, that aren't exactly the most genius.

It only came to me recently to try out a method I've been thinking of on one of my private scripts and see if I could take it to the next level. Thanks to a couple of tutorials at <a href="http://www.tutorialtastic.co.uk/" title="Tutorialtastic.co.uk">Tutorialtastic</a>, I have been guided in the right direction. As I plan to add this to my other two scripts, I think this will the right step to a more secure method.

Along with this, I've been seriously thinking about a Media Script. I know <a href="http://jemjabella.co.uk/">BellaBiblio</a> and <a href="http://prism-perfect.net/">MediaShelf</a> (and even the WordPress plugin <a href="http://robm.me.uk/projects/plugins/wordpress/now-reading/">Now Reading</a>) takes care of this quite well, they are not quite what I've been wanting, and others have been looking for. My idea is a bit like MediaShelf, except with the simplicity BellaBiblio has. While creating it in my mind (because I am cool like that (NOT)), I have two courses of action I could take: already-created tables for every media item you can think of (Movies (DVD, BlueRay, VHS), Music (CDs, Records, ect), Books, Magazines, ect) or a self-creating table(s) where you can add your own features. I suppose you can do this through phpMyAdmin, but it would be definitely easier on my part. I will definitely have to think about this, as I've been swaying towards and away from it for over a year now.

Here's to perfecting that password method and thinking further on the media script. :D
