note 130174 added to function.crypt

Most (old) examples here show how to generate a salt. But it's better to use the password_hash(...) function for this. This is mentioned in the 3th paragraph ("Use of password_hash() is encouraged."). password_hash(...) will automatically generate a salt that's concatenated to the generated hash string. The function password_verify(...) will automatically use the concatenated salt to compare the hashes. So there's no need to generate a salt yourself at all. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.5.137 (proxied: 213.219.161.179) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/130174 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/130174/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/130174/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/130174/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/130174/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/130174/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/130174/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/130174 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/130174 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
