RE: [PHP] strange crypt() problem

Well, if you don't find another solution for this, you could generate random passwords for each member and mail them to them. Then you would md5() them and update the DB with new md5()'ed passwords... This is not the easy way out so I hope someone finds out why the crypt() is behaving strangely.

Thanks "SævË Ölêöyp" <ofjord@simnet.is> wrote in message news:001501c336ad$d70cac80$0100a8c0@dmc... Try using md5() instead because it is more widely supported than crypt() and it leaves no room for errors.
