Re: [PHP] converting a password database from perl to php
Show us an example Perl one. Chances are you can get the PHP crypt() function to do the right thing by feeding it the correct SALT. -Rasmus On Fri, 22 Mar 2002, R'twick Niceorgaw wrote: Hi all, I'm converting a site written in perl to php.

Re: [PHP] converting a password database from perl to php
Hi Rasmus, Here's what used in the perl script. -- use Digest::MD5; use Digest::MD5 qw( md5_hex ); my $encrypt_password; my $digestObject = Digest::MD5-new(); $digestObject-add($password); $encrypt_password = $digestObject-digest(); Here's a sample result form it. text password : f0rget123 encrypted password: òOú«#7Fá73¯ Under PHP I'm getting a much bigger string with MD5() for the same clear password string. Thank you for helping me out with this.

text password : f0rget123 encrypted password: òOú«#7Fá73¯ Uh, that's not md5 at all. By definition md5 is 32 characters. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] converting a password database from perl to php
I'm sorry, I somehow missed few characters while copying form unix machine. The actual encrypted string is òOú«#µ7zFá73Y¯ (in hex it is 06 f2 4f fa ab 23 b5 7f 37 9e 46 e1 37 33 9f af) I have no idea about perl and so now I'm confused as in hte perl script I see it's using a digest::md5() object to encrypt the password and so thought it should be same md5() as in php. If you can guide me to some place where i can look for further info will be of much help to me.
