Recently I have begun to work with moodle, then I dont have a wide experience with it.

I am making a external module and  I need to use some data from the database of moodle.

My problem is I dont know where moodle saves the it data.

I need to know how moodle knows who is teacher:


I saw the table user and I saw all users (teachers,admins,users) are saved here but I in this table  the type of user isn't here.


So I would like to know can I get all teachers of moodle?

Also I want to use user and password data  of table user of  moodle but I saw that moodle uses a salt (keyword) to encrypt the password.

Also I saw for use the user data, I need to password join and the salt but I dont know how get the salt, I reviewed the config file but the salt doesn't have value.


Somebody knows How can I get it??


I am using moodle 2.5
