PHP 4.0 Bug #2245 Updated: crypt and substr output

ID: 2245 Updated by: riffraff Reported By: mattias@umc.se Status: Open Bug Type: Misbehaving function Assigned To: Comments: You shouldn't depend on an assumption, that crypt() is able to do the standart DES-encryption. On systems (such as yours...) it seems, that DES-encryption via crypt() has been disabled and the salt is taken as a salt for MD5 encryption. You should check CRYPT_STD_DES first before actually passing a 2-character salt to a crypt function. See http://www.php.net/manual/function.crypt.php3 for more detailed explanation. Anyway, we should make the salt string be NUL-terminated properly even if it doesn't have the right length. Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=2245
