crypt() function

Hi All,
Is there a function like crypt() of PHP. I want to verify a password using
that password. It uses the password hash(from db,AD,or elsewhere) and the
password user entered and returns the hash of the original password. Then
you can easily compare the hashes from db and crypt() function.
Thanx

AFAIK no, but you can easily convert a C++ implementation of the 'crypt'
command to C#/VB.NET.

I'm curious how these two functions work together (when crypt() uses a md5 algo). Currently I know they will produce different output; is this due to the salt being used behind-the-scenes in md5()? Is there a way to allow crypt() and md5() to produce identical output or am I misunderstanding the purpose of both the functions. Thanks

Just wondering, does anyone know if the crypt() function in PHP will always return a 34 character string if not salted? I want to encrypt my user's passwords into a database and I want to make sure I give the right length. I have tried some tests on both windows platform and FreeBSD and it seems to be consistent. -- ::Paul Fournier:: ::Programmer/Analyst:: ::Center for the Digital Arts::

I want to use a crypt function to store crypted passwords. These will be used to verify mail-user access. Now the crypt() function from the module crypt is only significant for the first 8 characters. But I need more significant characters. I found the md5 and sha modules. But they work different from the crypt module. But it doesn't seem to be compatible. I need the way crypt works with a salt to verify the password. So my real...

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.

I would like to use the crypt function in a Win32 (ie. C program using Visual C++ 6.0 compiler). I wrote a little program to see if it will link but it didn't. So I guess maybe the function isn't implement or implemented in a different naming convention. Could someone please help me or show me another method of doing encryption under Win32? TIA

Hi, Does anybody now of a custom crypt function that implements sha1? The thing I like about crypt is that I don't have to worry about (re)generating salt when querying the database. Or are there perhaps other functions that implements this same functionality and generates a sha1 hash? Cheers.
