note 115120 added to function.password-verify

If you get incorrect false responses from password_verify when manually including the hash variable (eg. for testing) and you know it should be correct, make sure you are enclosing the hash variable in single quotes (') and not double quotes ("). PHP parses anything that starts with a $ inside double quotes as a variable: <?php // this will result in 'Invalid Password' as the hash is parsed into 3 variables of // $2y, $07 and $BCryptRequires22Chrcte/VlQH0piJtjXl.0t1XkA8pw9dMXTpOq // due to it being enclosed inside double quotes $hash = "$2y$07$BCryptRequires22Chrcte/VlQH0piJtjXl.0t1XkA8pw9dMXTpOq"; // this will result in 'Password is valid' as variables are not parsed inside single quotes $hash = '$2y$07$BCryptRequires22Chrcte/VlQH0piJtjXl.0t1XkA8pw9dMXTpOq'; if (password_verify('rasmuslerdorf', $hash)) {     echo 'Password is valid!'; } else {     echo 'Invalid password.'; } ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 58.106.44.20 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-verify.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115120 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115120/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115120/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115120/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115120/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115120/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115120/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115120 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115120 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
