[PHP] Crypt problem From: Randy Johnson (programmer <email protected>)
Date: 03/22/01

hello

I use crypt to crypt member's passwords and use the following verify

"$stored_password" is the encrypted, stored password.

"$password" is the plain text password you just got from the form.

## Check the passwords
$encrypted_password = crypt($password,$stored_password);

if ($encrypted_password = $stored_password) { $logged_in = 1; };

the problem I am having is that it is only comparing the first 8 characters
of the password

so if my password was randyrandy

i could get in with randyran

How do I fix this

the crypt password is stored in the database with enough room to store the
password so it isn't cutting it off when inserting to the database.

thanks

randy
