See that 2y in the string? That's the version information. If a different algorithm is used, a different string will be in there. This also applies to changes to the algorithm itself. E.g. the 2y prefix is already a modified version of the original bcrypt algorithm. Nikita -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
