note 15345 added to function.crypt

Here's a function I use to compare a crypt()'ed password to a user-supplied plaintext version: function password_compare($plaintext, $crypted) { return (crypt($plaintext, substr($crypted, 0, 2)) == $crypted); } returns true if the plaintext password properly matches the evcrypted password (note: 2 character salt. You can change this -- it's the third param in substr()) S http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php
