Hey everyone. I have a vBulletin database and i’m making a login page to login, using the usernames and passwords from the database. The md5 hashes come out differently when I press login, than whats in the database. I need to know how to fix this. cuz i’m confused.

```php
$username = trim(addslashes($_POST['username']));
$password = md5(trim($_POST['password']));
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);

```
