From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Non mhash binmd5() implementation in pear/Crypt?HCEMD5.php If one does not have the mhash extension the HCEMD5.php script falls back to the following in the binmd5() method: return pack('H*', md5(pack('H*', preg_replace('|00$|', '', bin2hex($string))))); Which does not interoperate with the perl Crypt::HCE_MD5.pm unless one uses a 7 bit clean key 2. replacing the above line with: return pack('H*', md5($string)); Works much better. What problem was the original line trying to work around? Is this a problem with the perl implementation or the HCEMD5.php script? Thanks #!/usr/bin/perl -w # The following PERL script generates an HCE_MD5 encrypted # message that's format compatible with decodeMimeSelfRand() use Crypt::HCE_MD5; use MIME::Base64; $rand = int(1 + rand(32767)); $prand = pack('i*',$rand); # base64 encode key2 chomp( $mime_rand = encode_base64($prand) ); # create cipher object with key1 & key2 $cipher = Crypt::HCE_MD5->new("greatjustice", $prand); # encrypt & base64 encode $ciphertext = $cipher->hce_block_encode_mime("Hunka Bunka"); # emit Crypt_HCEMD5::decodeMimeSelfRand() compatible ciphertext print "$mimerand#$ciphertext\n"; -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13189&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
