for people using OS's without the crypt command available (i.e. at home on a Win32 system set
up for testing purposes) the crypt command can be replaced with the following:
<p>
// this replaces $cryptString = <br> crypt($plainString, $salt);<br>
$command = "perl -e \"print crypt('$plainString',
'$salt');\"";<br>
$cryptString = exec($command);<br>
<p>
assuming you have perl installed, of course ;) also note that this only works with the standard
two-character salt DES encryption.
