Bug #15769 Updated: php-4.0 crypt("abc") != php-4.1 crypt("abc")

ID: 15769 Updated by: sniper@php.net -Summary: php-4.0 crypt("abc") != php-4.1 crypt("abc") Reported By: php@8304.ch Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Encryption and hash functions Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: The behaviour changed because there was a bug in the detection for crypt() capabilities in previous PHP versions. Now it behaves as documented. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 09:55:59] edink@php.net The behaviour unfortunatelly did change (and its not documented). You don't have to disable MD5 like that to get regular crypt, but you would need to generate a two character salt, which would then be passed as a second argument to crypt(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 07:32:22] php@8304.ch ok, found a solution : 1. ./configure [options] 2. edit main/php_config.h and set PHP_MD5_CRYPT = 0 3. compile. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 05:44:41] php@8304.ch from the docs: > If no salt is provided, PHP will auto-generate a standard > 2 character salt by default, unless the default encryption > type on the system is MD5, in which case a random > MD5-compatible salt is generated. well, the "default encryption type" on the system has not changed between upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1, so why does the crypt behaviour change on the way? I really see that as a bug, or please tell me how to revert to the "normal" crypt (DES). Saw no options in the ./configure as well... :/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 02:09:06] sniper@php.net This is not a bug.
