Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78390&edit=1 ID: 78390 Updated by: girgias@php.net Reported by: beebware at gmail dot com Summary: PHP 7.4 now supports string password hash algorithms Status: Verified Type: Documentation Problem Package: *Encryption and hash functions PHP Version: 7.4.0 -Assigned To: girgias +Assigned To: salathe Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Honestly no idea, I just know that some were documented while I was updating the French translation and I followed suit with some of them (e.g. the array_merge ones). So maybe @salathe what is the official stance on this? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-09 14:02:05] requinix@php.net So are all 7.4 changes supposed to get documented as they're merged? Because there are all sorts of changes in the queue that should/would be documented but currently are not... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-09 13:06:00] girgias@php.net @requinix this is not entirely true, we did already document changes which will happen in PHP 7.4 (see array_merge for example) as these changes may get forgotten when it releases. Assigning to myself and will have a look next week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-09 12:43:47] requinix@php.net 7.4 hasn't been released yet. The documentation covers stable releases, not the latest betas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-09 12:24:23] beebware at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/function.password-needs-rehash And https://www.php.net/password_hash --- Currently reads: password_hash ( string $password , int $algo [, array $options ] ) : string password_needs_rehash ( string $hash , int $algo [, array $options ] ) : bool however, PHP 7.4 has changed the password algorithms to strings so it should be: password_hash ( string $password , int|string $algo [, array $options ] ) : string password_needs_rehash ( string $hash , int|string $algo [, array $options ] ) : bool (or mixed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78390&edit=1
