emulate PHP "crypt" function in c#?

[JamesB]

Not sure if this is possible, but has anyone seen (or know how to do)
emulation of the PHP "crypt" function from within c#?

Thanks

According to http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/en/function.crypt.php
the PHP cryp() function may use either DES or MD5. Both of these are
available in .NET

There is also such a thing as a PHP .NET complier. In a pinch you could
incorporate it that way, but I'm not sure what other PHP runtime components
are required.

Are you just trying to do cryptography in general, or does it have to
match the exact format/functionality of PHP's "crypt" function?

Ideally I want to be able to "crypt" a string in a c# app, and get the same
hash that a bit of php code on a webserver would generate... I'll have a
play with the built in .net stuff and see what comes out I guess...
Thanks
