Is this user creation and login procedures contained in the same script?

If not, is the EncryptString() function EXACTLY the same in each script, 
including the same salt?

You might want to simplify things by using md5().

Anyway, put an echo statement inside the function:
   echo ">$stringtoencrypt<";
and see if the actual input is the same.  Perhaps something is modifying 
your input before it gets submitted to the function.

Enjoy,
