I am encrypting some data on one server and now I am attempting to decrypt on another
server using mcrypt_encrypt and mycrypt_decrypt (using same key and initialzation
vector). It is almost working but I seem to still have a little problem, that data is
missing the last character which
I wouldn't use crypt, instead use one of the proven more secure hashes
like md5 or sha1.
For password hashing I'd use md5 (PHP 3 and 4) if you want broad
support or sha1 for a little more security (sha1 hasn't been in PHP as
long (only since 4.3.0) so you will lose some compatability,

Sorry. Just stumbled on crypt()

Currently my project uses md5 but I thinks it's more for checksums isn't

I think it all falls under the cryptography category, but you're right -
it doesn't fall into the encryption/decryption scheme since it is only
one-way.

I want to compare a password to a encrypted password stored in my
mySQL
database using password('password'), what's the best way to compare
the
two?
Encrypted the password sent by the user and compare or pull the
password
from the database based on username, decrypt it and then compare?
Just how are you going to decrypt it? Password encryption is ordinarily
one-way - you have no choice. You have to compare encrypted passwords.
