note 48580 added to function.crypt

It is likely that the php version of crypt() interfaces relatively directly with the C-library crypt() function, usually contained in libcrypt. Depending on your implementation and the default salt, you may or may not get the same crypt'd password out of eight characters as you would a longer string starting with those same eight characters. See crypt(3) on your system for more documentation on how it works based on different encryption types. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48580 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48580&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48580&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48580&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48580&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48580&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48580&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48580&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
