Dear friends,
I am using the XML-RPC Server to implement a simple login authentication as a web service . So I wrote a function in wp-includes\class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php like

Code:
function web_auth($host, $db, $dbuser, $dbpass, $username, $password)
{
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
$selected = mysql_select_db($db,$dbhandle) or die("Could not select database");
//$md5_password = md5($password);
$md5_password = wp_hash_password($password);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) AS total FROM wp_users WHERE user_login='$username' AND user_pass='$md5_password' AND user_status=0");
$data=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
//echo "SELECT count(*) AS total FROM wp_users WHERE user_login='$username' AND user_pass='$md5_password' AND user_status=0";
//die($data['total']);
if($data['total'] == 1)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
But the password hash mechanism is not make things proper. Please help me to find the exact password in line

Code:
$md5_password = wp_hash_password($password);
Waiting your fast reply

Thanks,
Anes
