As others have said, use crypt(). http://php.net/manual/function.crypt.php has Example #2 Using crypt() with htpasswd.

Thanks, but that doesn't really solve my problem. You see, I know the password and I know the encoded result -- what I don't know is what algorithm was used to generate the encoding. Here are all the algorithms I know of (this includes the above link you provided). http://webbytedd.com/bbbb/md5/index.php However, none of them match what have.

crypt with a salt? htpasswd --help: -d Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default). md5 = fixed 32 chars sha1 = fixed 40 chars no idea about the others but crypt does not have a fixed length. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
