[PHP3] Crypt on different OS's From: Willem Bison (wbison <email protected>)
Date: 12/31/98

I'm moving my PHP/mySQL site to a new host running a different OS than the
current host.
I have stored user passwords in a mySQL table after crypting it with the PHP
crypt() function (with a two-letter salt).
The problem is that under the new host the crypt() function returns a
different result - and that I'm now unable to verify passwords...

The old host runs freeBSD 2.1.7.1, the new host SunOs 5.6 (Sparc).

- Is there some way to simulate the crypt() function as used by freeBSD on
the SunOS ?
- How can I avoid running into the same sort of problem the next time I
switch hosts :-)
Should I use the mySQL PASSWORD() function ? Or does that have the same
problems ?

Thanks !
