note 39952 added to function.crypt

LDAP stores passwords with a method header in curly brackets before it, so your passwords might look like this in the database: {crypt}$1$salt$password Instead of passing the entire result from LDAP to the crypt() function, crypt() expects the entire result minus the {crypt} (or {MD5} or whatever) header. So: $goal = substr($goal, strpos($goal, '$')); if ($goal == crypt($user_password, $goal)) { print "Password accepted!"; } does the right thing. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39952 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39952&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39952&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
