pear’s crypt to php

[steve]

Hi,
I have a set of passwords encrypted using perl’s crypt, from a perl
forum being migrated to php.

I like to bring them into php, and use them without changing them.
How do I emulate perl’s crypt function.

I found a pear module here:
http://pear.php.net/package/Crypt_CB...Crypt_CBC.html
but it seems to only take one argument, whereas perl’s crypt should
take two args (?).

Please help.

steve

Using Perl:

my $string = 'the string';
my $salt = 'secret';

print crypt $string, $salt; # Prints sewZw1OY/.llM

Using http://www.php.net/crypt:

$string = 'the string';
$salt = 'secret';

print crypt($string, $salt); # Prints sewZw1OY/.llM
