According to the crypt() man page, crypt() can use four methods of
encryption:
CRYPT_STD_DES - Standard DES-based encryption with a two character salt
CRYPT_EXT_DES - Extended DES-based encryption with a nine character salt
CRYPT_MD5 - MD5 encryption with a twelve character salt starting with $1$
CRYPT_BLOWFISH - Blowfish encryption with a sixteen character salt starting with $2$
You should check which method your crypt() method used before changing
PHP version, and use the mcrypt specific method. You did backup the old
php installation, right?
