Thanks, i reread the english documentation and there it's also explained this way. But my german documentation says 'If no salt is supplied crypt() will use a 2 chars des-salt per default unless md5 exists on your system. PHP will then generate randomly a md5-salt.'. A bit mistakable I think. I'll give the translator a wink. Thanks again and best regards Niklas Neumann
