note 44743 deleted from function.crypt by nlopess

Note Submitter: haavard ( at ) creanet.no ---- The crypt-function only takes the 8 first character into consideration when creating the output. For example crypt("aaaaaaaa222","aa");outputs the same as crypt("aaaaaaaa111","aa"); Could be fatal if you e.g use crypt($hostname + $username,"aa") as validation to your website. md5 would do good, but creates a 32 character string, that doesn't look good in the addressbar. My suggested solution: $crypted_long_string = crypt(md5($long_string),"aa");
