I'm going to be creating a family website with a photo gallery. I will be using WAMP (Winodws, Apache, Mysql, PHP). I haven't really done this kind of site before, i'm not really familiar with databases, but i have used php in the past. There will be a different page for each user. I want to have a database with usernames and passwords, and maybe more info about the user, but how do I store passwords on a database? I would think that would be very insecure, is there a way to encrypt the passwords on the database or something? Also whats the best way to go about the users' photo gallery should i have a database of images, or just have the images uploaded on the server and display it? Sorry if this sounds stupid, i really want to learn and do this website right. Thanks for all of your help.
