If using crypt(), what's a good idea for the salt? the first two letters of
the password?
i.e.
$password = crypt('password', 'pa');
also, is the length of the string returned by crypt() always the same
length?

|I'm trying to decide on a way to encrypt passwords to be put in a mysql

|md5()? mysql's password()?
