note 112495 added to function.password-hash

Alan is entirely wrong, please ignore his comment and/or vote it down. This method encodes the algorithm and other parameters into the returned hash. Deliberately specifying the algorithm to use should only be done in a carefully considered scenario, and these functions are designed and policies have been decided to ensure wide compatibility. The risk of forcing a particular algorithm is that your code will continue to use a weaker algorithm as newer ones are implemented and strengthened. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 70.91.178.185 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112495 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112495/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112495/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112495/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112495/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112495/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112495/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112495 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112495 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
