note 71748 added to function.crypt

Blowfish doesn't use a sixteen character salt, it uses sixteen *bytes* of salt. So (courtesy of the docs for the Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt Perl module), it's: "$2", optional "a", "$", two digits, "$", and 22 base 64 digits If the salt is not long enough, crypt will return "*0" and you will have no idea what is wrong. Interestingly, the example in the documentation with a trailing '$' in the salt does not work. Replace the '$' with a '.', and the output appears as advertised. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 61.14.27.42 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71748 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71748/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71748/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71748/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71748/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71748/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71748/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71748 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71748 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
