Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54568&edit=1 ID: 54568 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: debian at michael-neubert dot de Summary: [DE] German crypt() documentation incomplete -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Translation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: nikic Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Just asked someone and it seems this is just badly formulated: The behavior is clearly defined (i.e. first MD5 hashing is tried and then DES). By unexpected behavior they mean that if one server has MD5 and the other DES, running the same function with the same input will yield two different outputs. Thus it could seem that the provided password was wrong. I updated the german docs to clarify that.

English documentation parameter salt: "An optional salt string to base the hashing on. If not provided, the behaviour is defined by the algorithm implementation and can lead to unexpected results." German documentation parameter salt: "Ein optionaler Salt-String, der die Schlüsselbasis bildet. Sofern nicht angegeben, wird von PHP ein zufälliger Wert bei jedem Aufruf der Funktion generiert. Wenn Sie das gegebene Salt benutzen, sollten Sie beachten, dass dieser Wert nur einmal bestimmt wird. Rufen Sie diese Funktion nun mehrmals auf, beeinträchtigt das nicht nur das Ergebnis, sondern unter Umständen auch die Sicherheit." Please add in the German documentation, that unexpected results can occur, if no salt is provided. Further information why this is advisably you can find in the following Debian bugreport: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623220 Beste wishes Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54568&edit=1
