Arguments are a string to be encrypted and an optional two-character salt string to base the encryption on. See the Unix man page for your ! crypt function for more information. ! <simpara> ! If the salt argument is not provided, it will be randomly generated ! by PHP. ! <simpara> ! Some operating systems support more than one type of encryption. ! In fact, sometimes the standard DES encryption is replaced by an ! MD5 based encryption algorithm. The encryption type is triggered by ! the salt argument. At install time, PHP determines the capabilities ! of the crypt function and will accept salts for other encryption ! types. If no salt is provided, PHP will auto-generate a standard ! 2-character DES salt by default unless the default encryption type ! on the system is MD5 in which case a random MD5-compatible salt ! is generated. ! <simpara> There is no decrypt function, since <function>crypt</function> uses a one-way algorithm. </refsect1> -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
