Thanks for your input but as I noted in a subsequent post
(actually...the answer came to me 30 seconds after shooting out the
email)....it was really a darned typo that caused the error!
I did exactly as you suggested...put in an echo statement...that's when
the light bulb went off (or was it the dope slap?).

What's the advantage of MD5 vis-a-vis crypt?

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,
