I don't know what people are talking about ... two first chars in the password ? nooo ... What you do is first create a password with crypt: $passwd = crypt("testing"); now $passwd will have something like: $1$/33Tmd.m$TFPkxx6N5em0u.5lcgy1I1 This is devided up: md5 hash salt real password cryptet with salt $1$ /33Tmd.m $ TFPkxx6N5em0u.5lcgy1I1 So now when you check for password, just read the org. password, break it up and get the salt. Encrypt password with salt, and compare it with org. encrypted password. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33161 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33161&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33161&report=yes
