Drupal 7 has a different function. See scripts/password-hash.sh

Tnx. But, when I use md5("myPassword"), I don't get the same result that is shown in Drupal's users table (the 'pass' field) for that user. There must be something else. Bill

Hello,
The password in Drupal is generated via MD5 function which is a default in PHP. Apart from the password, there is nothing that gets added to the password. You can check function user_save in user module, which directly sends the value in md5 format, that will provide you some more clarity.
I think you are talking of a SALT value that gets added, but this is not the case in drupal 6, as it is using MD5 However, in Drupal 7, SALT is used and MD5 is not followed to save the passwords.

I am going to manipulate the Drupal users table externally. I know that the password in Drupal 6 is generated as an md5 hash, but I'm wondering what the input to the md5 function is. Obviously, it includes the password, but what else? Tnx, Bill
